Grounded Space Counselling
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Graduate Diploma Trauma Informed Processwork Psychotherapy (Process Oriented Psychology), Diploma Counselling, Somatic Experiencing Cert II/III
When it comes to social anxiety the client-therapist relationship is an integral part of healing and can within itself, serve as a supportive and validating resource throughout the therapeutic process, fostering a sense of trust and empowerment for clients as they work towards integrating all aspects of themselves for greater self-awareness and clarity. Social anxiety can be extremely impactful and debilitating to anyone who has experienced it. The fear of social situations and interactions can manifest in a variety of ways with symptoms ranging from sweating, trembling, rapid heart rate and difficulty speaking to a complete withdrawal from all social interactions. This can stem from a fear of being judged, embarrassed, or of being rejected by others to underlaying issues such as trauma and low self-esteem. I provide a safe, compassionate and understanding space to help support and completely guide you to identify the root cause of the anxiety and welcome you to reach out through whatever means of communication you feel comfortable, so we can schedule a time to have a chat.

Karen Seinor
Counsellor/Therapist, MACA
Anxiety is the most common mental health issue in Australia, with millions of us suffering from it. This may not be due to our environment or circumstances; studies have shown that brain chemicals play a major role in how we deal with stressful or difficult situations, and how anxious we generally can be.
This doesn’t mean that we’re stuck feeling this way. There are many strategies for managing anxiety and they are easy to learn.

Movement with Steph
Registered Psychotherapist, MCouns&PsychTh
From not wanting to attend family gatherings, to friends' parties to work events, social anxiety can be quite pervasive and isolating. As humans we are wired for connection and clients who suffer from social anxiety can find it hard to obtain the very connection they seek. I work with clients to understand the origins of their social anxiety and unpack its purpose in the client's life to date. I work collaboratively with the client to discover how we can shift these patterns of thinking and interacting with other to help them to regulate their anxiety and accompanying emotions better, thus, supporting them in seeking connection with others.

Social anxiety has it's root in a lack self-love. When we are not consciously and/or unconsciously comfortable with ourselves, we are immediately fearful of rejection from the people around us. This results in a heightened arousal of the nervous system to prepare for rejection, judgement, and failure.

Ilana Grosman
Registered Psychotherapist
Covid amplified our social insecurities so much! Our society was already so warped and misaligned, making how we relate more competitive and pressured than it was ever supposed to be. With that and social media, our ability to build true authentic connection is in dire need of reevaluation!
You are so much greater than you can ever know! if only we could see ourselves the way others see us. Everyone is deserving of love, supportive relationships (friendships, lovers, meaningful connections) and fulfilment. It would be my honour to sit beside you and empower you to find your source of inner truth, turning down the volume of that critical voice in your head directing you away from your essential nature. Let us meet your particular flavour of greatness and travel together to relieve the pressure and start to make connection real again.
