Dealing with social phobias / social anxiety

Some people want to address their social phobias (or social anxiety), which involves finding ways to cope with an intense discomfort and/or fear of judgement or embarrassment in social situations. If you have social phobia, you might find it difficult to approach strangers, make new friends, speak in groups, or even go about certain daily tasks for fear of being watched or criticised. It’s not just shyness; social anxiety can feel incredibly isolating and can prevent you from living life as fully as you might like, often second-guessing what other might be thinking about us.

I recognise how challenging and often frustrating this can be, especially when it affects work, school, relationships, or simply your sense of freedom. In therapy, we’ll validate these concerns and explore practical techniques to help you gradually face your fears and build up your confidence in social settings. Whether through structured exercises, role-playing scenarios, or learning grounding and relaxation skills, I aim to support you in reclaiming your sense of comfort and ease around others.
