Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Social anxiety can turn everyday interactions into overwhelming ordeals, making you feel like everyone is watching, judging, or waiting for you to fail. The fear of embarrassment, rejection, or saying the wrong thing can keep you isolated, missing out on relationships, career opportunities, and life experiences. Having experienced acute anxiety myself, I understand how paralyzing these fears can be and how they create a prison of avoidance and self-consciousness. My approach to social anxiety goes beyond exposure therapy or coping strategies to address the subconscious beliefs and past experiences that fuel your fear of social judgment. Using Subconscious Dynamics™, we identify and transform the deep-seated programming that interprets social situations as threats, allowing you to rewire your nervous system's automatic responses. This work helps you develop genuine confidence in social settings, moving from survival mode to authentic connection with others.

Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
For many women living abroad, social anxiety is not simply about shyness or lack of confidence.
Sometimes it develops slowly after years of constantly adapting between languages, cultures, expectations and different versions of oneself.
Many Italian women living abroad become highly skilled at monitoring themselves socially:
how they sound,
how they are perceived,
whether they are “too much”,
too emotional,
too foreign,
too different.
Over time, this constant self-monitoring can leave the nervous system in a subtle but chronic state of alertness.
Even simple social situations may begin to feel emotionally exhausting.
Not necessarily because a woman lacks social skills, but because some part of her body has learned that belonging often depends on careful adaptation.
I work especially with women who feel fragmented between cultures and identities, and who long to feel more relaxed, authentic and emotionally safe in relationships and social spaces.
My approach is warm, reflective and nervous-system-informed, integrating psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, embodiment, nature-based practices and emotional regulation work to help women reconnect with a deeper sense of ease, self-trust and belonging.
