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
Kajal Sohal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP-C
Do you replay conversations in your mind, worry about saying the wrong thing, or avoid social situations because you're afraid of being judged or embarrassed? Social anxiety can make everyday experiences—meeting new people, speaking up at work, attending gatherings, or expressing your needs—feel incredibly stressful. You might want meaningful connections but find yourself holding back out of fear of rejection or criticism.
I offer affordable, compassionate counselling to help you navigate social anxiety in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person-centred approaches, we can explore the thoughts and fears that arise in social situations, develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, and gradually build confidence at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My approach is also culturally sensitive and neurodivergent-affirming. I recognize that social difficulties can sometimes be influenced by cultural expectations, past experiences, or differences in communication styles. Rather than expecting you to become more outgoing or change your personality, I focus on helping you feel more comfortable expressing yourself authentically.
Together, we can work toward reducing self-consciousness, strengthening communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, and developing greater confidence in relationships and social situations.
You deserve to connect with others without constantly questioning your worth or worrying about what people think. I offer affordable counselling in English and Punjabi and would welcome the opportunity to help you build meaningful connections while feeling more confident being yourself.

Social anxiety can make everyday interactions, feel overwhelming and lead to avoidance, self-consciousness and fear of negative evaluation.
