The Anxious Academy – Recovery by therapists who get it.
The Anxious Academy
Recovery by therapists who get it.


We’re Ferne and Andrew – psychotherapists who have walked this path ourselves. We truly understand the desperation for the pain to just stop; the terror of feeling disconnected from yourself with DPDR; the torment of visual snow syndrome. We know how disheartening it can be to sit with therapists who raise their eyebrows or fail to fully grasp the complexities of these experiences. You deserve better – and that’s exactly what sets The Anxious Academy apart.
