What is health anxiety?
Health anxiety is a condition where a person experiences persistent worry about having or developing a serious illness, even without medical evidence. It can involve frequent body checking, seeking reassurance from doctors or loved ones, and difficulty accepting that symptoms may not indicate a serious problem.
Who might benefit from therapy for health anxiety?
Anyone who finds that worry about their health is affecting their daily life, relationships, or wellbeing may benefit from therapy. This includes people who frequently check for symptoms, seek repeated medical tests, or avoid health-related situations due to fear.
What does therapy for health anxiety involve?
Therapy for health anxiety often involves understanding the patterns of thought and behaviour that maintain anxiety, learning to tolerate uncertainty, and developing healthier responses to health-related worries. Many therapists use cognitive-behavioural approaches tailored to this specific type of anxiety.
How long does therapy for health anxiety typically take?
The length of therapy varies depending on the severity of the anxiety and your individual goals. Some people see significant improvement within a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term support. Your therapist will work with you to track progress along the way.
How do I find the right therapist?
On First Session, you can browse therapists who work with health anxiety. Watch their intro videos to get a sense of their personality and approach, and read about their experience with anxiety-related concerns. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process.
How do I book a session?
Browse therapists on First Session, watch their intro videos, and book directly through their profile when you find someone who feels like a good fit. You can choose online or in-person sessions depending on availability.
