Social anxiety can develop around experiences of rejection, criticism, exclusion or relational threat.

Social Anxiety
Lailla Sena - Somatic Practitioner
Life Coach, Psychosomatic Practitioner | Breathwork Facilitator
You're in the room, and part of you never quite arrives. You're watching your own face, monitoring your voice, tracking whether you said too much or not enough. Then you leave and replay the whole thing for hours. It's exhausting in a way that's hard to explain to people who don't experience it, because from the outside you seem fine.
What's happening is a nervous system in constant surveillance, scanning for a threat it learned to expect. Together we work with that scanning directly: slowing your breath, grounding your attention back into your own body, building the felt experience of being safe while being seen. Over time you can be in the room and actually be in it. If this is you, I can support you in your process. Schedule a free chat with me today to get started.

Social Anxiety
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.

Social Anxiety
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like a minefield. Overthinking every word, dreading being judged, exhausted before you've even walked in the room. If connection feels more draining than fulfilling because of this, let's work together to help you feel more at ease with others.
The first step in working with social anxiety is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you. Your mind has simply learned to treat connection as a threat, and that can be unlearned. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where this anxiety comes from and build confidence and tools for showing up as yourself in social situations. My approach centres self-compassion, gradual exposure, and practical strategies that fit your life.
You don't have to face this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling more comfortable in your own skin, with others.

Mitchell Kovacs
Counsellor/Therapist, Level 2 Counsellor (ACA)
Social anxiety is an important topic to discuss because it’s common, often invisible, highly limiting, and very treatable—yet many people suffer in silence.
