Teachers and support staff can take part in six sessions with a trained therapist in person, via a webcam or by telephone. A pilot of the project involving 40 people is running until December.
More than one in 10 people are likely to have a disabling anxiety order at some stage in their life, according to Anxiety UK.
Meanwhile, the Teacher Support Network has seen more than 12,800 calls to its 24/7 helpline relating to stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health issues over the last two years.
Applicants will be charged between £15 and £50 per session depending on their household income. Those in severe financial difficulties can apply for help to pay through Teacher Support Network’s grant scheme.
