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.

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.

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.
