We all have feelings of worry from time to time. However if these thoughts and feelings are persistent and you find you have constant worries about social interactions, what people may be thinking about you, how others perceive you and self-doubt in social situations, you may be struggling with social anxiety. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool to help manage and mitigate symptoms of social anxiety by uncovering the root cause of your worries. By understanding your fears and triggers, you can better navigate anxiety provoking situations and move through them with more ease and confidence.
Through a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural approach, we will work together to help you learn how to recognize and change negative thoughts about yourself and develop skills to help you gain confidence in social situations. We may gradually work up to facing the situations you fear most. This can improve your coping skills and help you develop the confidence to deal with anxiety-inducing situations. We may also explore role-playing scenarios to help you practice your social skills and gain comfort and confidence relating to others, while acknowledging and addressing your worries and fears.
Our therapists will help you to learn to manage your social anxiety symptoms and understand what could be underlying them so that you can become more at ease in social settings and more importantly more at ease with yourself.
Social anxiety occurs for many different reasons and can have a massive impact on one's well-being. It can be so incredibly frustrating to feel so averse or worried about something that you feel or know you should not be anxious about! When working with clients who have social anxiety issues, I take a comprehensive approach in understanding why the social anxiety occurs so that we can solve the issue from the root up; Being anxious is not a state one needs to be in, and it does NOT have to control one's life or decisions.
