Social Anxiety
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like a minefield. Overthinking every word, dreading being judged, exhausted before you've even walked in the room. If connection feels more draining than fulfilling because of this, let's work together to help you feel more at ease with others.
The first step in working with social anxiety is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you. Your mind has simply learned to treat connection as a threat, and that can be unlearned. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where this anxiety comes from and build confidence and tools for showing up as yourself in social situations. My approach centres self-compassion, gradual exposure, and practical strategies that fit your life.
You don't have to face this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling more comfortable in your own skin, with others.

Mairead Cleary
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.

Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
Social anxiety is used to describe feelings of anxiety and fear that occur in response to social situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is commonly used to treat social anxiety disorder.

Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor to assist you further where requested.
Social anxiety can be debilitating in hampering healthy, confident interaction with others and can lead to isolation and loneliness. I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from social anxiety to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.
