Social Anxiety
Emma Poxon
Counsellor/Therapist, MA Person-Centred Experiential Counselling
Social anxiety can feel completely overwhelming, like there's no way out. As your therapist I am here to be with you in your anxiety reminding you that you are not alone. We can explore how social anxiety feels for you, when it is at its worst, and help you to gain more of a sense of control over this. You are not a problem to be fixed, my aim as your therapist is to try to provide the right conditions to allow you to explore whatever you want to bring to therapy to support your growth. This isn't a therapeutic approach wherein I will set a treatment plan or tell you what to do. We will work together as a partnership rather than me taking away your autonomy. I absolutely love the work I do, it is the biggest privilege being let into people’s personal worlds and seeing the immense growth of my clients. I hope to hear from you soon!

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
This world is crazy and in a mess. This is often frightening. When you are highly sensitive (read this too) or rather introvert, one can easily wish to retreat from social activities. The thing is that w ARE social beings and in a way need to be totters and share as a nourishment and inspiration fro our soul. Meeting the anxiety will be as you unique as you are. The theme is a bit similar to what I wrote in "Life Transitions" , "Depression", and "Highly Sensitive Person" maybe you also want to read one of these. You are welcome when you are open to step out of the prison, you do not need to know how... we will find out together.

Social Anxiety
Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP
I work with adults who experience social anxiety, including fear of judgement, self-consciousness, difficulty speaking up, or a tendency to withdraw in social situations. Social anxiety often develops as a way of managing risk in relationships and can shape how people anticipate, interpret, and respond to others.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how these patterns operate internally and what they may be protecting. Rather than focusing on exposure or performance, sessions centre on understanding the internal responses that arise in social situations. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

Nicole Rolls
Counsellor/Therapist, PG Dip, MA, BACP Accred, EMDR Accred, 20 years experience as a Therapist
Even though we need connection in our lives, if may be difficult to feel confident in social situations. We will explore what led you to feel this way and find ways of developing Self confidence and Self esteem and to start re-engaging with the world.
People on the spectrum may find this particularly challenging: we will assess whether this could be the cause for disconnection and work with whatever you are presenting.

Social Anxiety
Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Do you find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, replaying interactions long afterward, or worrying that others are judging you? Perhaps you avoid gatherings, hesitate to speak up in meetings or classrooms, or struggle to express yourself even when you have something important to say. Social anxiety can leave you feeling isolated, self-conscious, and frustrated, especially when you genuinely want to connect with others but fear being embarrassed, rejected, or misunderstood.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for adolescents and adults experiencing social anxiety. My background in counselling, educational support, and community mental health has given me an appreciation for how social experiences, relationships, and our sense of belonging can influence emotional well-being.
Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, and trauma-informed principles, I work collaboratively with you to understand the thoughts, emotions, and experiences contributing to your social anxiety. Together, we can explore patterns of self-criticism, develop practical strategies for managing uncomfortable social situations, and gradually build confidence in expressing yourself and connecting with others.
I also recognize that cultural expectations, family dynamics, language differences, and past experiences of criticism or exclusion can influence how comfortable we feel around others. My culturally responsive approach creates space to explore these influences without judgment, while respecting your identity, values, and personal boundaries.
Overcoming social anxiety doesn't mean you need to become outgoing or change your personality. It's about feeling more comfortable being yourself, communicating your needs, and participating in experiences that matter to you without fear holding you back.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you strengthen your confidence, develop meaningful connections, and navigate social situations with greater ease and self-acceptance.
