What Are Panic Attacks And How Do They Affect You?
Panic attacks are sudden periods of intense fear that cause extreme physical and mental reactions, despite there being no apparent danger.
While they can feel different to everybody, many people report similar symptoms and feelings. Physically, panic attacks often cause a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, chest pains, nausea, feeling faint or dizzy, or hot flushes. Psychologically, you might experience terror, a lack of control, disorientation, or even a fear of death.
Over time, you may worry about having future panic attacks. You may also avoid certain situations where you’ve had an attack in the past, or find yourself withdrawing from friends and family. This can lead to conditions such as loneliness, depression and anxiety.
Panic attacks can be debilitating, but reaching out for help can give you back the life you deserve.
How Online Therapy For Panic Attacks Can Help
Online therapy can be an effective way to explore and understand the causes of your panic attacks, learn how to identify common triggers, and develop dependable coping strategies that help you feel in control.
Approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can be particularly helpful in treating panic attacks. Using a structured approach, your chosen online therapist will help you understand what triggers the episodes, so you can reframe and change your thought processes and behaviours. Over time, this can reduce the intensity of any attacks and give you the tools to cope with panic when it arises.
Our online panic attack therapy is flexible, discreet, and safe, and you'll work with a compassionate, qualified therapist who understands what you’re going through. We're here to support you at your own pace, in a way that works for you. There are no membership fees, and you can stop whenever you feel ready.

Online Anxiety Therapy FAQs
Talking therapies, especially structured approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy, helps you understand and reframe your thought process, giving you the coping strategies you need to navigate your panic attacks. Some people also find that having an understanding and empathetic ear to talk to is enough to help them feel better in itself.
Most people find that somewhere between 8 and 16 sessions is enough to see a positive difference in how they feel. However, no two people are the same, and you can have as many or as few sessions as you feel.
What works for you might not work for someone else, but CBT is considered the best therapy for panic attacks by many people, because it’s proven to reduce the symptoms and severity of episodes, and help them manage their experiences in the long term.
However, it’s not the only option, and you and your therapist may choose a different approach, and that’s ok.
There are no membership fees or minimum session limits, so if therapy isn’t helping you manage your panic attacks, you can cancel whenever you want.
