The panic self-check
How much is panic narrowing your life?
A short check, written by Hora. It won’t diagnose anything, but it can help you see the pattern.
Private by design: your answers stay in your browser. We don’t see, save or track them, and nothing here is linked to you.
Over the last two weeks, how often have you felt…
A reflective check written by Hora: a signpost, not a diagnosis.
This is a reflection, not a diagnosis. Hora isn't an emergency service. If you're in immediate danger call 999, or NHS 111 (mental health option). Samaritans: 116 123.
How it works
Three steps to get you started:
An assessment
A 25-minute assessment with an experienced clinician, to understand what you need and find the right fit.
Choose your therapist
Straight after your assessment, you’re sent a selection of therapist profiles to browse, each with their own specialisms and interests. You choose who you’d like to work with, and begin soon after, with no long wait for your first session.
A weekly hour
Open-ended weekly sessions online, at the same time each week, held just for you. No contract and no minimum commitment, so you stay for as long as it helps.
£26 for your first assessment, then £40 a session. No membership and no minimum commitment.

Good to know
Common questions
For most people, yes, therapy makes a real difference. Understanding the panic cycle, how fear of the sensations fuels the attacks, and learning to respond differently reduces both their frequency and their grip over time.
They feel dangerous, but the NHS is clear that panic attacks aren’t physically harmful in themselves, though they’re exhausting and frightening. Because the symptoms can mimic other conditions, it’s always worth having new or severe physical symptoms checked by a GP.
That’s completely okay, and can even be useful to work with in the moment. Your therapist will help you feel safe and grounded, at your pace.
A one-off £26 assessment, then £40 for each 50-minute weekly session: no membership, no minimum commitment, no hidden fees. Genuinely affordable, with your therapist paid fairly.
It’s worth asking who actually delivers therapy this affordable. A lot of low-cost online therapy comes from counsellors early in a one- or two-year training, almost always working unpaid, and sometimes presented as fully qualified when they’re not. Hora is the honest version: your therapist is a psychotherapist in advanced UKCP-accredited clinical training, the deepest and most rigorous route in the profession, closely supervised and with hundreds of clinical hours behind them, and paid fairly for every session. Therapy is open-ended, with no session cap and no income test, and you choose who you work with. Genuinely affordable, and never built on someone’s free labour.
Hora isn’t an emergency service. If you’re in immediate danger, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For urgent support, these free services are there any time: Samaritans on 116 123, Shout by texting SHOUT to 85258, NHS 111 for urgent mental-health advice, and Switchboard for LGBTQIA+ people on 0800 0119 100. If you’re not in crisis but things feel heavy, booking an assessment is a good next step.
