I specialize in working with highly sensitive people who have some social anxiety and recognize that it's making life harder than it needs to be. Together in a supportive environment, we will explore the roots of the social anxiety, use proven methods of shifting any fears of being around other people, and learn new ways to interact with others that feel good to you and don't set off the alarm bells.
Together, we work to reduce fears around social anxiety, build social skills, and increase confidence, enabling you to navigate social situations with greater ease and comfort. I help clients overcome social anxiety through personalised strategies and evidence-based techniques.
Anxiety and phobias can be debilitating. While CBT and mindfulness can be helpful, they are not the only treatment for anxiety. I tailor my approach to your needs.

Social anxiety has it's root in a lack self-love. When we are not consciously and/or unconsciously comfortable with ourselves, we are immediately fearful of rejection from the people around us. This results in a heightened arousal of the nervous system to prepare for rejection, judgement, and failure.
