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)

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.

Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Social anxiety can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you in your anxiety reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how social anxiety feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

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.

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.

Social anxiety is also referred to as social phobia which simply means you are extremely self conscious and overwhelmed by what others may think of you in social situaitons. This may leave you fixated about those looking at you, as being judgemental and feeling embarrassed and ridiculed.

Art Therapist, Human Givens Practitioner (HG.Dip.P), Member of Human Givens Institute, IFS therapist Levels 1&2, Narm Practitioner
We all need to experience some degree of anxiety at times – it would be unnatural not to feel any of its symptoms, such as racing pulse, dry mouth, sweatiness and shallow breathing, just before a big speech or exam, for instance – as it helps get us motivated to act. But excessive anxiety causes problems. Excessive anxiety may develop gradually, starting, perhaps, with loneliness after the loss of a loved one; being too shy to make new friends when moving somewhere new; experiencing unwelcome life changes because of chronic illness and pain; or feeling loaded down with too much responsibility – all cases of unmet emotional needs.
When people worry excessively, it is in essence because important emotional needs, such as for safety, connection or status, are not being met. That’s why the human givens approach, which focuses on helping people in distress find healthy ways to meet their emotional needs, is so effective.
For some people, anxiety can develop suddenly, after they are caught up in some tragic disaster, such as a fire or a crash, or are the victims of violence, and their lives become ruled by fear. (This is known as post-traumatic stress.) Anxiety may also take the form of obsessions, compulsions, phobias or a nagging feeling of foreboding – all of which are attempts to ward off a sense of threat.
Yet, as we know, some people face such circumstances without becoming overly anxious, while others end up almost crippled by anxiety. How we explain the negative events that happen to us has a considerable bearing on whether we are likely to suffer from excessive anxiety. Three particular types of thinking are especially connected with its development and its close partner, depression: how personally people take events (they think everything is their fault or that they didn’t get the job because they weren’t good enough, rather than because the competition was particularly stiff); how pervasive they think the effects will be (if they lose their job, they think everything in their world is going wrong, even though their relationship is still strong and they have their health, good friends, etc); and how permanent(they will never get another job, partner, dream house like that one, etc).
People who suffer badly from anxiety also tend to have a lot of negative thoughts running through their minds that they don’t even notice (“I’ll never cope”; “it’s going to be awful”; “no one likes me”) and commonly catastrophise (“I’m going to be late. My boss will sack me!”) Changing negative self-talk and challenging catastrophic thinking help lower stress levels.
Another major cause of troublesome anxiety is negative over-imagination. Anxious people tend to spend a lot of time worrying “What if?”, coming up with a whole variety of dreadful outcomes for themselves or their loved ones. This keeps them in a constant state of high emotional arousal and can take the extreme forms of phobias or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Learning to use the imagination positively – by calmly rehearsing mentally tried and tested techniques (such as deep breathing and distracting thoughts) for dealing with feared or worrisome situations – is very effective. Calming ourselves down, when anxious, is extremely important because high emotional arousal makes us stupid. We literally can’t think straight and that makes the situation worse.
Human givens practitioners can show people how to relax, so that they can bring their own arousal and stress levels down, and how to use their imaginations positively, to rehearse successful outcomes instead of bad ones. They can also help people overcome phobias, panic attacks and traumatic memories quickly and painlessly. And, very importantly, they will encourage people to find ways to reduce their stress and also focus outwards on fulfilling activities (maybe involving the wellbeing of others as well as themselves) – excellent ways of getting their own needs met.

Social Anxiety and Social Anorexia cases have had documented increase with lower practice of intimacy in our current culture. In addition, social isolation registers in the same part of the brain that processes pain and we are biological beings that need social engagement for health and stasis. CPTSD and intensive health needs can contribute to a sense of growing isolation or challenges with over stimulation, limiting social interactions. There could be grief due to that or ease if it aligns with a neurobiology that doesn't prefer social interactions in person. There are many creative ways to connect these days. Utilizing Havening, Brainspotting, Polyvagal Theory, Safe and Sound Protocol, IFS, Attachment Theory, and optionally Energy Work to address adrenal fatigue, clients may stretching into experiences of more social engagement and working through trauma or anxiety along the way. This work combines a sensitive understanding of social systems and the pressures that come with adapting to them. Additionally, clients can gain safe practice with communication utilizing NVC and other communication and relationship models.
