Heather Macfarlane
Registered Psychotherapist, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist
Like any type of anxiety, social anxiety, leaves us living a limited, smaller life than we might do without it. I can offer a supportive, understanding environment to help you tackle the crippling emotions related to this condition to help you move towards a more relaxed, fulfilled life.

Dr David Tilbrook
Psychologist, Chartered Clinical Psychologist Specialising in Psychotherapy with Senior Practitioner Status
Underlying concerns about how others might be seeing us is often a mixture of important and complex feelings about how we have been treated in the past and our responses to those experiences, along with our desires and wishes for satisfying relationships and interactions. We will work effectively to clarify these processes and support you to work through and overcome any internal emotional obstacles so you can feel confident and strong in your relationships.

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Social anxiety is one of the biggest challenges people face in modern life. My work seeks to understand the underlying reason or cause for the symptoms of social anxiety. Rather than simply apply coping mechanisms, we look to address the root cause so you are empowered to take charge of your wellbeing and experience as you move forward.

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.

Jimi Katsis
Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Social anxiety is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. This can lead to avoidance of social situations, difficulty making friends, and difficulty with work or school.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals with social anxiety. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) which have been proven to be effective in treating social anxiety.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their social anxiety. ACT, on the other hand, is a form of therapy that helps individuals accept their feelings of anxiety, rather than trying to eliminate them, and learn to engage in life in a meaningful way despite the presence of anxiety.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your social anxiety and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building self-confidence, increasing social skills and exposure to social situations, and developing a support system.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of social anxiety, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.
