Social Anxiety
Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I help clients with social anxiety by gently unpacking the fear of judgment, rejection, or humiliation that can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. While social anxiety can be part of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), it’s also often a natural response for neurodivergent individuals navigating a world not designed for their communication styles or sensory needs. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, developing coping strategies, and supporting clients in expressing themselves authentically while gradually expanding their sense of safety in social spaces.

Dr. L. Pittman
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I have worked throughout my career to help individuals (children, adolescents, and adults) identify who and/or what contributes to their social anxiety. I help them subsequently identify what is in their control as they anticipate being in those settings in an effort to take the power away from what has historically contributed to their fears associated with their anxiety in those settings.

Mandy Randall-Gavin MBACP, UKATA
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, Dip TA Prac: UKATA
Social anxiety is more than shyness. It's a fear that does not go away and affects everyday activities, self confidence, relationships and work or school life. Many people occasionally worry about social situations, but someone with social anxiety feels overly worried before, during and after them. I can work alongside you to activate strategies to help you and also to explore with you any underlying self-belief and possible depression.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Hypnotherapy can be an effective tool for treating social anxiety by helping individuals overcome the fear and discomfort associated with social situations. Through relaxation techniques and positive suggestion, hypnotherapists support clients in accessing subconscious beliefs that contribute to anxiety, enabling them to reframe negative self-perceptions and develop greater confidence. This approach may reduce physiological symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat or sweating, and promote calmer, more adaptive responses in social settings. Integrated with other therapies, hypnotherapy empowers individuals to build self-assurance and engage more comfortably in social interactions.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
This world is crazy and in a mess. This is often frightening. When you are highly sensitive (read this too) or rather introvert, one can easily wish to retreat from social activities. The thing is that w ARE social beings and in a way need to be totters and share as a nourishment and inspiration fro our soul. Meeting the anxiety will be as you unique as you are. The theme is a bit similar to what I wrote in "Life Transitions" , "Depression", and "Highly Sensitive Person" maybe you also want to read one of these. You are welcome when you are open to step out of the prison, you do not need to know how... we will find out together.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Tamzin Brain @HypnoChange4U
Counsellor/Therapist, Ad.Dip.CP, DipHyp CS, Dip CP, MNCS (Acc), MHS, Counselling Cert, CACHE3, B.A. Honours Degree PsyCrim
"Before I tried hypnotherapy I heard many stories how people lost weight without having operation, stopped smoking, got rid of different fears. My problem was I couldn’t answer the phone in the office while my colleagues were working close to my desk. I was not confident dealing with people on the phone and it was destroying me every day. This was my first experience having hypnotherapy. The session itself was very pleasant, I was so relaxed and calm like never before. After the hypnotherapy I started feeling different. It is strange, I got this confidence that I was always lacking. I couldn’t get this confidence myself and during the hypnosis session my unconscious mind was told to be confident. It is amazing how well it works! Our brain is powerful to change everything but sometimes we need a little help." (Lina)

Julie Jenner
Counsellor/Therapist, BA(Hons), NCS Senior Accredited
Social anxiety seems like such a current issue to me, and I see people struggling under the weight of it at times in all areas of my life. We are bombarded with how we are supposed to do this thing called life, our values, appearance, views and so on are brought into question and there feels like there is no escape from it. What this can bring about is a fear of being seen, a fear of not getting it right, or not fitting in. We can start to question the safety of being out in the world where others might see that you are doing it wrong - or more realistic not doing it how they would. It can bring limitations in your life which stop you from doing what you want, stop you from connecting with others, stop you getting the most out of each day. Believe you can change this and know you do not have to do it alone. Asking for support is one of the most important choices you might make today.

Kylie Feller
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
It’s not that you’re bad at connection—some parts of you just don’t feel safe in it.
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or like you constantly need to monitor how you show up, you’re not alone. Social anxiety often stems from parts of us that carry past experiences of rejection, embarrassment, or not being accepted for who we are. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you gently connect with these protective parts, understand their fears, and begin to unburden the beliefs that keep you stuck in self-doubt. Together, we create space for confidence, authenticity, and the kind of connection that feels safe and real.

Lulu AlRashdi
Life Coach
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, self-doubt, and the urge to avoid social situations. These patterns often develop over time and may be influenced by past experiences, relationships, or beliefs about ourselves and how others perceive us.
Together, we identify limiting beliefs, increase self-awareness, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded and confident in social situations. By strengthening self-compassion, regulating your nervous system, and building trust in yourself, you can begin to approach relationships and social interactions with greater ease, authenticity, and confidence.

Ruth Mark-Roland Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapy, Foundation and Diploma in Group Analysis
I offer support for social anxiety, including fear of judgment, self-consciousness, overthinking social interactions, and avoidance of situations where you feel observed or evaluated. Social anxiety can often lead to feelings of isolation, exhaustion from “masking,” and a constant concern about how you are perceived by others.
My approach is grounded in psychoanalytic and relational psychotherapy, offering a steady and non-judgemental space to explore both the present-day experience of anxiety in social situations and the deeper emotional and relational roots that may underpin it. Together, we may look at early attachment experiences, internalised beliefs, and past relational dynamics that shape how safety, visibility, and connection are experienced with others.
I work in a trauma-informed way, recognising how experiences of criticism, rejection, bullying, or emotional misattunement can contribute to ongoing social anxiety and sensitivity in relationships. Therapy provides a space to gently explore these experiences and begin to shift the internal patterns that maintain anxiety over time.
I also integrate somatic awareness to help you notice how anxiety shows up in the body, such as tension, breath restriction, or nervous system activation, supporting greater grounding and regulation in moments of stress. Psychoeducation may be used to increase understanding of anxiety processes, and where appropriate, I may incorporate EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques / tapping) to support emotional regulation and reduce intensity in anxious states.
Therapy is collaborative and paced according to your needs, helping you develop greater confidence, ease, and self-compassion in social situations, and a more secure sense of self in relation to others.

Anxiety is the number one reason that most of my clients come to work with me - and I can help. Social anxiety, in particular can be a terrifying and lonely place to be. Together, we can find strategies that you are using that do or don't work as well as discovering new ones that can make an enormous difference in your day to day life. Working on this in a step by step approach can help you see things slowly but definitely change.
