Clear Fear

About this app

Clear Fear provides you with a range of ways to manage anxiety.

Developed by a clinician co-collaboratively with young people, Clear Fear uses a Cognitive Behavioural framework to help you change anxious thoughts and emotions, alter anxious behaviours and calm fear responses.

It also has helpful descriptions of the different ways in which anxiety shows, resources and a grit box to boost resilience.

It is recommended for the ages of 11-19 years but can be used by a younger group with the support of a parent or carer.

Clear Fear compliments, but does not substitute for the assessment and ongoing support of a mental health.

Ratings and reviews

I really like the app but it is hard to find things in the menus. An example is anxiety types and info are separate and safety net, immediate help buttons should have been together under the clear fear button instead of goal setting. Menus could be simple like goals, inspiration, relax, information and a button to clear anxiety rather than repeating the same safety net and other activities within multiple menus. Also there is no Cbt.

Has really honestly helped me better myself. I have a tendency to talk down to myself for things I can't control, and this app has done so much to help that with the activities it offers. I've been treating myself better and even started working out and eating better. It's a good app and I recommend getting into the habit of using it whenever you need

Brilliant app! I like that the features use cognitive reconditioning to manage anxiety. However, the app itself could use some adjustments. For instance, the text boxes don't automatically resize or reposition above the keyboard when they're too low in the screen, so you can't see what you're actually typing; you can't even scroll the page to adjust its visibility.
