Abi Jude
Counsellor/Therapist, MBACP Member
Many of us feel socially awkward at points in our life. Perhaps we were told we were 'shy' as children, or have always struggled to make friends. This can leave us feeling isolated and lonely and we may tell ourselves that we are weird, different or simply do not know how to interact with others. The feelings and experiences associated with not fitting in, saying the wrong things or not being able to socialise can be devastating. I will work with you to look at your experience and how you speak to yourself as a way of understanding how you may impact others, allowing for a different way of being in the world.

Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Human beings are not the only social animal, but our ability to interact with other people is a critical factor in our lives and thereby our sense of wellbeing. Social anxiety arises for many different reasons-- sometimes as a result of difficult experiences during our upbringing, resulting in low self-esteem, for example. In recent times the temptation to compare ourselves to others has been distorted by cultural phenomena such as social media. We are constantly bombarded by images of success, beauty, attainment, wealth, and so on that we can never hope to achieve. This creates an unrealistic sense of worth and worthlessness that sometimes causes us to isolate ourselves even further. Psychological counselling can help evaluate who we really are, what we want to achieve, and how we can do this. In my experience the most effective treatment is an evaluation of the root causes of social anxiety in my clients. I then design a specific coaching program to enable my clients to engage with the social world.
