Anjali P.
Registered Psychotherapist, MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling, Registered Member MBACP- 408062
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, intimidating, or emotionally draining. You may worry about being judged, criticised, rejected, or getting something wrong, even when others do not see your struggle. Therapy can help you understand the roots of these fears, build self-confidence, and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel less restricted by anxiety.

Gordon Wax BA HONS MBACP

Being seen is as tough as it is feeling invisible sometimes. The world forces us into being in environments where there are other people. In therapy you will understand your fears and how to cope with others and be alone.

Social Anxiety
Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
For many women living abroad, social anxiety is not simply about shyness or lack of confidence.
Sometimes it develops slowly after years of constantly adapting between languages, cultures, expectations and different versions of oneself.
Many Italian women living abroad become highly skilled at monitoring themselves socially:
how they sound,
how they are perceived,
whether they are “too much”,
too emotional,
too foreign,
too different.
Over time, this constant self-monitoring can leave the nervous system in a subtle but chronic state of alertness.
Even simple social situations may begin to feel emotionally exhausting.
Not necessarily because a woman lacks social skills, but because some part of her body has learned that belonging often depends on careful adaptation.
I work especially with women who feel fragmented between cultures and identities, and who long to feel more relaxed, authentic and emotionally safe in relationships and social spaces.
My approach is warm, reflective and nervous-system-informed, integrating psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, embodiment, nature-based practices and emotional regulation work to help women reconnect with a deeper sense of ease, self-trust and belonging.
23 Years Experience
Online in Stoke-on-Trent, ENG England
Stoke-on-Trent — the 'Potteries' — has experienced decades of economic hardship since the collapse of its ceramics and coal industries, and it consistently ranks among the most deprived cities in England, with therapists frequently addressing poverty-related depression, substance use, and the intergenerational effects of long-term community decline. The city has one of the lowest rates of therapy access relative to need of any comparable English city, making the work of community mental health practitioners especially important. Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust provides public mental health services alongside a limited private therapy sector. Staffordshire University maintains a counseling psychology program that contributes training to the local community, and telehealth has become an important access route for residents seeking a specialist match not available locally.
