About The Linden Method — Who We Are and What We Do

The Linden Method was founded in 1997 by Charles Linden — a man who had experienced severe anxiety disorder himself for 27 years, encompassing panic disorder, OCD, agoraphobia, health anxiety and depersonalisation simultaneously. After discovering the neurological mechanism responsible for all his symptoms, Charles designed a structured program to address it directly. He recovered completely, and The Linden Method was born.

Since 1997, The Linden Method has helped over 650,000 people globally recover from every type of anxiety disorder. It is the world's most proven, most widely used anxiety recovery program — recommended by GPs, psychiatrists and psychologists, and endorsed by clinical research including an NHS clinical trial that found it to be the most effective anxiety recovery therapy.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to deliver complete, permanent recovery from anxiety disorder to every person who follows our program. Not management. Not coping. Recovery. We are the only anxiety recovery organisation in the world that makes this commitment with a money-back guarantee.

What We Believe

• Anxiety disorder is a neurological condition — not a psychological weakness
• Complete recovery is the correct and expected outcome — not an exceptional result
• The amygdala can be reconditioned to its pre-anxious state at any age, after any duration of illness
• People deserve accurate information about their condition — not just symptom management
• Recovery should be structured, clear and achievable within weeks, not years
• No one should spend their life managing a condition that is completely recoverable

Our Team

The Linden Method is delivered by a team of trained Linden Accredited Recovery (LAR) coaches — all of whom have recovered from anxiety disorder using the method themselves. This lived experience is central to what we do. Our coaches don't tell clients what anxiety disorder is like from a textbook — they know it from the inside, and they know what recovery feels like. This changes the nature of the support completely.

Beth Linden, Charles's wife, heads the support team. Charles remains personally involved in the development of the program and in the delivery of webinars and coaching events. The organisation is family-run, values-led, and entirely focused on a single outcome: your complete recovery.
