Triumph Over Phobia UK

Helping you face fear and anxiety, find hope and move forward

 

WHO WE ARE

For nearly 40 years, we‘ve been supporting people across the UK to manage and overcome phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and related anxiety disorders using evidence based techniques built on behaviour therapy techniques. At TOP UK we know how truly debilitating, intense and overwhelming life with OCD or a phobia is. We also know there is a life for you without intense fear.

We offer practical, proven support through our network of online friendly, self-help groups. Run by trained volunteers, many of whom have lived with OCD or phobias themselves, our groups are a safe, welcoming space where you’ll connect with others facing similar challenges to find understanding, encouragement, and a clear path to recovery.

You’re not alone – and you can get better

Whether you feel overwhelmed by obsessive thoughts, feel held back by irrational fears, or are living a life restricted by anxiety we’re here to listen and help you take back control, one step at a time.

“The tools that were taught by TOP UK will help me to go forward with my OCD and anxiety. Without them I wouldn’t be cuddling my daughter today, I wouldn’t be walking down the street, wouldn’t be going in shops, wouldn’t be getting on a train and wouldn’t be doing things people just take for granted.”

— Lucy, recovered group member

There are so many ways to support TOP UK to help us continue our work. Whether it’s running a marathon, becoming a student ambassador, throwing a coffee morning or donating.

I want to VOLUNTEER

As a volunteer with TOP UK, you’ll gain valuable experience in mental health support, group facilitation, and recovery-focused work with people affected by OCD and phobias. You’ll be part of a dedicated and compassionate team, with opportunities to attend monthly reflective practice sessions and ongoing training. Whether you’re looking to build your skills, give back, or explore a future in mental health, this is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference.

Real People,

Real Change

“When I first saw the advert for TOP group, I was at rock bottom. I was so tormented by my OCD that I didn’t want to be alive. TOP UK completely turned my life around.

For the first time, someone understood how my brain worked and how much I was suffering. My TOP Group very quickly gave me hope, at the darkest time in my life, giving me strategies to cope with my crippling anxiety and to stand up to my OCD. In the other members I found an incredible sense of support and comradery and I made lifelong friends I’m now really happy in my life and thanks to TOP, I have tools, strategies and coping mechanisms. I certainly don’t feel so alone.”

“For me, TOP was a life changing experience. It transformed my life in a magical way and in such a short time. I went from someone who was scared of everything because of contamination fears to someone who then used every hour in a fulfilling and positive way.”
