Social Anxiety
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.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Do you find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, replaying interactions long afterward, or worrying that others are judging you? Perhaps you avoid gatherings, hesitate to speak up in meetings or classrooms, or struggle to express yourself even when you have something important to say. Social anxiety can leave you feeling isolated, self-conscious, and frustrated, especially when you genuinely want to connect with others but fear being embarrassed, rejected, or misunderstood.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for adolescents and adults experiencing social anxiety. My background in counselling, educational support, and community mental health has given me an appreciation for how social experiences, relationships, and our sense of belonging can influence emotional well-being.
Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, and trauma-informed principles, I work collaboratively with you to understand the thoughts, emotions, and experiences contributing to your social anxiety. Together, we can explore patterns of self-criticism, develop practical strategies for managing uncomfortable social situations, and gradually build confidence in expressing yourself and connecting with others.
I also recognize that cultural expectations, family dynamics, language differences, and past experiences of criticism or exclusion can influence how comfortable we feel around others. My culturally responsive approach creates space to explore these influences without judgment, while respecting your identity, values, and personal boundaries.
Overcoming social anxiety doesn't mean you need to become outgoing or change your personality. It's about feeling more comfortable being yourself, communicating your needs, and participating in experiences that matter to you without fear holding you back.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you strengthen your confidence, develop meaningful connections, and navigate social situations with greater ease and self-acceptance.

Samantha Coleman
Therapist, MBACP Prof Dip
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel stressful, exposing, or overwhelming. You may fear being judged, rejected, misunderstood, embarrassed, or seen in the wrong way. My approach is warm, thoughtful, and focused on understanding what lies underneath these fears rather than judging them. Together, we can explore the deeper patterns driving your anxiety and help you build greater confidence and ease in how you relate to other people.
