Social Anxiety
John Zavaglia (Mind LIfe)
Counsellor/Therapist, ACA Registered, PC Grad MHN & Neuro, MBA
Social anxiety can leave you overthinking what others think of you, avoiding situations or replaying conversations long after they've happened. You may want to feel more comfortable around others but find anxiety keeps getting in the way. Together, we can understand what's driving these fears, develop practical ways to manage them and help you build greater confidence and freedom in social situations.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social anxiety looks different at different ages. In adults it may centre on work, performance situations or being observed. In children and teenagers it can appear as selective mutism, school refusal, separation difficulties or withdrawal from peers. We work with all of these, using graded exposure and cognitive approaches with older clients and play or art-based work with younger ones. Where social difficulty may relate to an unidentified neurodevelopmental difference, assessment is available within the same practice.
