You know the reassurance won't last. But you keep checking anyway.

No. This is group coaching, not therapy or medical treatment. It is led by a qualified psychologist and built on the same CBT and ERP principles used in clinical therapy, but it is not a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a replacement for one-to-one therapy or medical care. If you are already in therapy, this can run alongside it. If what you need is individual clinical treatment, we will tell you that rather than let you enrol anyway.

One-to-one therapy is often the right call, but it is not always something you can get, and it is not the only thing that helps. A group gives you something reading about this privately can't: other people describing the same checking, the same doubt, the same 2am googling, in real time. The weekly structure adds the part that usually goes missing on your own, which is actually practising, every week, whether or not you feel like it.

It is built on CBT and ERP, the two approaches with the strongest evidence base for health anxiety and the ones used in specialist clinics. Nothing here is a shortcut around them. It is a structured way to do the work live, with other people, instead of alone.

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, helps you spot the black-and-white thinking that turns a sensation into a certainty. ERP, or Exposure and Response Prevention, is the practice of sitting with the urge to check or ask for reassurance without acting on it, until the urge loses its grip. TURN is how both of them show up inside each session.

This programme doesn't ask you to ignore your body or skip medical care. It is for the situation after something has been checked and the fear hasn't gone away regardless of the result. By then it is health anxiety running your life, not the symptom you started with.

Reassurance does work, for a while. Then it wears off and the checking starts again. That fade is the pattern this programme is built to interrupt rather than repeat. The aim is not to convince you that you are fine. It is to need to ask less.

We aren't going to promise you a result, and anyone who does is selling you reassurance. What we can tell you is what the process asks of you: follow it, one session and one action a week. Most people who start have already tried reassurance, tests, and googling. This is built to do something different from all three.

Everyone is different, so we won't promise you a particular result by a particular week. What is fixed is the process. Each week you learn something, practise it live, and leave with one thing to work on. The goal is not instant calm. It is gradually changing what you do when health anxiety shows up.

Sessions are live, and showing up is most of what makes a group work. If you miss one, you won't be dropped from the group, and the next week still has a place for you. Be clear about the trade though: sessions aren't recorded, so there is no replay, and we don't run catch-up or one-to-one replacements. A missed week is a missed week, and it doesn't change the fee.
