In 1970, the charity's founders, Katharine and Harold Fisher established The Phobics' Society from their home in Chorlton, Manchester, as a direct result of Katharine's personal experience of agoraphobia and with the sole aim of getting support in place for others in the same situation.

Since then, we've become a nationwide organisation but we still have the same basic aims. Whether you have anxiety, stress, anxiety-based depression or a phobia that's affecting your daily life, we're here to help you. And we're fully supported by an expert team of medical advisors.
