Some people with anxiety just want to talk about their anxiety, and the things that are making them feel anxious. They don’t want to do a course of therapy or mentoring.
Typically, a call to the No Panic Helpline may not last more than 20 minutes. For some people 20 minutes is not enough. They need more time to talk things through. They don’t seek advice, they just want somebody to listen.
If you call the No Panic Helpline, you may get through to a different volunteer than the one you spoke to before. It can be annoying having to repeat the details of your problem.
Would you like to talk for an hour a week? Would you like to talk to the same volunteer, so you don’t have to repeat what you said in the previous call? Members of No Panic can purchase a course of Extra Listening for £20. If you are not a member of No Panic and would like a course of Extra Listening, please become a member.
