Remote Specialty Therapy for OCD, Panic & Travel Anxiety in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, throughout Europe
Those who experience persistent anxiety face dual challenges: symptoms that limit their lives and the stigma of having a mental condition. Some are fortunate and can share their fears and suffering with compassionate family or trusted others but many can lack this support and suffer in the shadows, alone without compass or companion.
National health mental health services only offer short-term general mental health treatment have strict gate-keeping protocols for referrals to specialty mental health services. Unfortunately, OCD and certain anxiety disorders such as travel agoraphobia and fear of flying are only effectively treated by specialists and often require longer-term treatment.
Most private therapists are generalists, who are often not qualified to treat most complex anxiety disorders. Thus finding affordable, private specialists, qualified to treat OCD and complex anxiety is often very challenging and frustrated, leaving many sufferers to fend for themselves without treatment, as best they can.
Anxiety Solutions is an international practice offering affordable, online specialty CBT and Virtual Reality (VR) therapy alternative to NHS services and general therapist for people seeking treatment for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Travel Agoraphobia and Fear of Flying and Phobias in the UK (England, Wales, Scotland) and across Europe

Impact of Anxiety Disorders
The negative consequences of anxiety are very underestimated. In Europe, anxiety disorders are among the leading causes of disability and lower quality of life such as:
- Relationship strain
- Social interactions
- Restricted lifestyle
- Level of education
- Missed work day
- Reduced productivity
- Early retirement
- Ability to travel
Few Seek or Receive Treatment
In spite of the huge negative impact of anxiety on health and overall quality of life, in the UK and other European countries , only a small percentage of people with anxiety receive treatment. According to large population studies only 33% of those with a clinical anxiety disorder actually receive services, and even fewer are treated by a trained specialist.
According to the World Health Organization the main reasons for this high treatment gap are:
- Failure to recognize symptoms as a treatable disorder.
- Stigma.
- Cost or access issues.
- Long wait lists.
- Preference for self-help before seeking professional care.
