Rebecca Front is an actress who won a BAFTA for her performance as Nicola Murray in the BBC comedy The Thick of It. She has also appeared on TV in Grandma’s House, Lewis, Just William, Nighty Night, The Day Today, and Knowing Me, Knowing You and in the feature film Horrid Henry. Rebecca is also a writer, and often contributes columns to The Guardian and The Independent. “I want to lend my support to Anxiety UK because I’ve seen how debilitating and distressing anxiety syndromes can be. I myself have experienced panic attacks and have suffered with claustrophobia most of my life. For me, it’s usually little more than an inconvenience, but for many others, anxiety can significantly inhibit their enjoyment of life. Anything that can be done to help them and to remove the needless stigma still attached to anxiety is to be supported.”

There are many treatments and therapies which can help, and I would advise others to get help sooner rather than later.”
