Social Anxiety
Jonathan Livingstone Therapy & Coaching
Psychologist, MSc, MA, PGCE, GMBPsS
Social anxiety is nearly always the consequence of people pleasing, lack of assertiveness, and the need for approval. If you have the need to be liked and approved of, you will be anxious in social situations. I will help you to identify the experiences that have created this need, and resolve them, so that you are able to consider your own needs first, and value your own opinion above those of anyone else.

Social Anxiety
Saffron Marriner
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP (Accred)
An integrative humanistic and trauma informed counselling approach offers a compassionate and comprehensive method to address social anxiety, fostering healing and empowerment for those affected. The roots of social anxiety can be multifaceted, involving genetic predispositions, environmental factors and post traumatic experiences. Humanistic counselling encourages you to develop self-awareness and self-compassion. Through reflective exercises and mindfulness practices, you can gain insight into your thought patterns and emotional responses. This self understanding fosters a more compassionate relationship with yourself, reducing self criticism and enhancing self esteem. An integrative approach will equip you with practical coping strategies to manage social anxiety. Techniques such as progressive muscle relaxation and grounding exercises can help clients regulate their physiological responses to anxiety. Cognitive restructuring and exposure therapy can also be employed to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns and gradually desensitise you to feared social situations. We will collaborate to set achievable goals and celebrate progress. By fostering a sense of agency and self-efficacy, you are encouraged to take an active role in your healing journey. By combining the principles of empathy, validation and empowerment, the approach that I use can help you navigate your anxieties.

Social Anxiety
Jimi Katsis
Registered Psychotherapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's the terror that people are watching you, judging you, seeing through you. It's scanning every conversation for proof that you said something wrong. It's replaying interactions for days, convinced you embarrassed yourself. It's exhausting.
You might avoid social situations entirely, or you go but spend the whole time performing—saying what you think people want to hear, monitoring every word, never relaxing. Either way, you're not actually present. You're too busy managing the anxiety to connect with anyone.
This usually comes from somewhere. Maybe you were criticized, shamed, or made to feel like who you naturally are wasn't acceptable. Your nervous system learned that being seen is dangerous, so now it tries to protect you by making you hypervigilant in social situations.
We work to understand where that fear got installed and what it's protecting you from. Not by forcing you into social situations before you're ready, but by helping your nervous system learn that being yourself doesn't actually equal danger. Then social situations stop feeling like performance reviews and start feeling like... just talking to people.
