TOP UK runs a network of self-help therapy groups for sufferers of phobias, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and other related anxiety disorders. Our groups are open to anyone, aged 18 or above. You do not need to have seen a doctor or have a formal diagnosis to attend one of our groups. All our self-help therapy groups meet once a week and are run by trained volunteers, many of whom have overcome a phobia or OCD themselves. Our groups use a type of behaviour therapy which is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) principles and the work of Professor IM Marks. In many cases there is a long waiting list for therapy on the NHS but you should be able to access a TOP group immediately. Anyone who wishes to attend a group will need to complete an application form, none of our groups (with the exception of Jersey) are drop in. There is also a small charge of £2.50 per week to attend a group but this is waived for those on low incomes. Triumph Over Phobia does not receive any government funding and we rely on donations to continue our valuable work. Is a TOP Group for Me? If you agree with the following statements then a TOP group might be suitable for you: I really want to get better I have the time to attend a group every week I am prepared to work on a self-help programme
It would be helpful if you could read chapters 11 & 12 of 'Living with Fear ' by Professor Marks before joining one of our groups.
