App Detail » Agoraphobia Free

App Description

Created by NHS trained psychiatrists and psychologists, Agoraphobia Free is an innovative and revolutionary app to help with, you guessed it, agoraphobia. It uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which is proven to be effective in the treatment of agoraphobia with and without panic attacks. It allows you to undertake the therapy at your own pace, from your own home, without needing to see a therapist.

You will gain the skills as you help Alex, a woman in her 30s, who also suffers from agoraphobia. As you help her use different techniques to overcome her condition, you will learn those same skills and will be able to apply them to your own situation. The app is portioned in to bite sized chapters, with various challenges to tackle before you embark on each episode of Alex’s story.
