Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist and Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist
Social anxiety may be a problem for people who are otherwise successful particularly in their working lives. I try to help people understand this problem in the context of a lack of self esteem. I try to help them with what may become an avoidance of social situations which narrows their lives.

Jeannine
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist (MAPS)
Social anxiety isolates us. It's about feeling fearful of going out into the world and being you; fearful of negative judgement and lacking a sense of belonging and feeling safe in a social environment, which we all need to thrive. I work with clients who are socially anxious to help them understand their anxiety and what they can do to work with it and build a stronger connection to themselves and others.

Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can feel incredibly exposing, like there's nowhere to hide. Introducing ourselves to a bunch of people or saying our name in a group can feel like a terrifying and even life-threatening task. And that's before we even get to giving a public talk.
There's usually a fear of being judged, criticised or shamed. And the fear of the anxiety arising in company is usually more debilitating than the anxiety itself. The important thing to know is that it's a very normal fear, and that lots of people experience it.
