Beth Jackson Counselling and Coaching
Counsellor/Therapist, BA (hons), Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Diploma in Clinical Supervision
Anxiety is the number one reason that most of my clients come to work with me - and I can help. Social anxiety, in particular can be a terrifying and lonely place to be. Together, we can find strategies that you are using that do or don't work as well as discovering new ones that can make an enormous difference in your day to day life. Working on this in a step by step approach can help you see things slowly but definitely change.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
This world is crazy and in a mess. This is often frightening. When you are highly sensitive (read this too) or rather introvert, one can easily wish to retreat from social activities. The thing is that w ARE social beings and in a way need to be totters and share as a nourishment and inspiration fro our soul. Meeting the anxiety will be as you unique as you are. The theme is a bit similar to what I wrote in "Life Transitions" , "Depression", and "Highly Sensitive Person" maybe you also want to read one of these. You are welcome when you are open to step out of the prison, you do not need to know how... we will find out together.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel like high-stakes performances, often rooted in early experiences of judgement or exclusion. I help clients understand where that fear originated and build both the practical confidence and the internal safety needed to engage more freely.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Leeds is a major financial, legal, and digital services hub and one of the UK's fastest-growing cities outside London, creating consistent demand for therapists specialising in workplace stress, perfectionism, and burnout among its large professional population. The city has three major universities — the University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett, and Leeds Trinity — generating significant demand for therapists who work with academic pressure, young adult mental health, and the stresses of student life. Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services, with a private therapy community serving Chapel Allerton, Headingley, and the city centre. Leeds's large South Asian and Eastern European communities also drive growing demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists.
