If you are struggling with stressors related to covid, society, and other social factors please reach out for help. I am one call, email, or text away.

Licensed Professional Counsellor, MA, CCC
It’s not that you’re bad at connection—some parts of you just don’t feel safe in it.
If social situations leave you feeling anxious, self-conscious, or like you constantly need to monitor how you show up, you’re not alone. Social anxiety often stems from parts of us that carry past experiences of rejection, embarrassment, or not being accepted for who we are. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you gently connect with these protective parts, understand their fears, and begin to unburden the beliefs that keep you stuck in self-doubt. Together, we create space for confidence, authenticity, and the kind of connection that feels safe and real.

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Social anxiety is one of the biggest challenges people face in modern life. My work seeks to understand the underlying reason or cause for the symptoms of social anxiety. Rather than simply apply coping mechanisms, we look to address the root cause so you are empowered to take charge of your wellbeing and experience as you move forward.

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.

Middlesbrough is a Teesside city with a proud but challenging post-industrial history in steel and chemical manufacturing, and its mental health landscape is shaped by persistent economic deprivation, high unemployment in some communities, and the compounding health inequalities that make it one of England's most disadvantaged major towns. NHS mental health services are provided through Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust, and demand for both community and acute mental health care consistently exceeds available resources. Teesside University contributes to the local mental health workforce through its psychology and counselling programmes and provides a student counselling service for enrolled students. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, and the long-term psychological impact of economic hardship and community disinvestment on residents across all age groups.
