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.

Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming from speaking up in groups to meeting new people or even leaving the house. You may fear judgment, worry about what others think, or replay conversations long after they’re over.
I offer a calm, supportive space to explore these fears, understand what triggers them, and develop tools to build confidence and emotional safety in social situations. Together, we work gently toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

Liverpool's identity is shaped by its working-class heritage, maritime history, and strong community bonds — a culture that values directness and solidarity, and where therapists who meet clients without pretension find a ready welcome. The city has experienced significant economic hardship since deindustrialisation, and therapists frequently address depression, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma in communities that have carried these burdens for generations. Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust provides substantial public mental health services, with a private therapy community concentrated in the city centre and the leafy south of the city around Allerton and Woolton. Liverpool's cultural richness — anchored by its music, art, and sporting identity — supports a creative community with its own distinct mental health needs.
