FAQ

Panic Attack Therapy FAQs

Are panic attacks dangerous?

Panic attacks feel frightening but in the majority of cases they are not physically harmful.

Not at all – if you are concerned that panic attacks might become commonplace, this is more than enough ‘proof’ to reach out and get help.

Yes. In fact, online therapy can be very effective because it doesn’t pressure the client to go outside, which can be daunting for many sufferers of panic attacks.

Many people begin to feel more in control within a few sessions as they learn what’s happening and gain practical tools. Your therapist will set a realistic plan based on your situation.
