Anne-Lynn Teoh
Registered Psychotherapist, MoPC, BPsych (Hons)
Social anxiety can develop around experiences of rejection, criticism, exclusion or relational threat. I use an attachment-informed, trauma-sensitive and somatic approach to explore the protective patterns that emerge around social connection, while building greater internal safety, confidence and flexibility in relationships.

Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
It can be difficult to admit to social anxiety, but it is surprisingly common. Lack of safety in being one's 'true self', or feeling safe to express ones inner world, especially in one's early life, can be contributive to an underlying anxiety in social settings. Many of us navigate life with various measures in place to cope with social anxiety, such as 'masking' or substance use which may serve to alleviate temporary anxiety but reinforces the cycle, rather than address the root cause of the anxiety in the first place. Like any other challenge, i will work with you as an integrative psychotherapist to understand these root causes of the patterns shaping your experience of social life, so that you can transform them on a deep emotional level, opening yourself up to a new way of being in the world.

Social Anxiety
Tawney Bevilacqua (Spiral Psychotherapy)
Registered Psychotherapist
Social anxiety can make relationships feel both deeply longed for and profoundly difficult. You may find yourself worrying about how you're perceived, holding yourself back, or feeling disconnected from others despite wanting closeness. Rather than seeing these experiences simply as something to overcome, I'm interested in understanding how they developed and the ways they may once have helped you adapt to your environment.
Working with social anxiety begins with creating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and paced with care. Together, we'll explore the experiences, relationships, and patterns that have shaped your sense of yourself in relation to others. We may also pay attention to your body's responses, recognising that social anxiety is often carried not only in our thoughts but in our nervous system.
My approach is grounded in understanding before fixing. Through curiosity, compassion, and a genuine therapeutic relationship, there is an opportunity to experience yourself differently—to develop greater trust in yourself, feel more at ease with others, and discover new ways of relating that feel more authentic and free.

The Inner Collective Clinical Psychology
Psychologist, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Master of Science, Bachelor of Arts (Psych. Hons.)
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting—overthinking what you said, fearing judgement, or avoiding situations altogether. At The Inner Collective, we understand how isolating this can be. Using evidence-based therapies like CBT, ACT, and exposure strategies, we help you gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build social confidence, and feel more at ease being yourself—whether you're in a meeting, at a party, or just ordering a coffee.

Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming from speaking up in groups to meeting new people or even leaving the house. You may fear judgment, worry about what others think, or replay conversations long after they’re over.
I offer a calm, supportive space to explore these fears, understand what triggers them, and develop tools to build confidence and emotional safety in social situations. Together, we work gently toward helping you feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

Social Anxiety
Gaye Mallinson - Somatic Psychotherapies
Counsellor/Therapist, B.Soc.Ser. (Couns) Dist, Dip. Couns, Trauma Informed Yoga Cert, Pranayama Cert, Nidra Cert
I work primarily from a Rogerian or Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) approach using a conversational style listening patiently to you, always with empathy, genuineness and without judgement, to help find the solutions you desire for your life whilst adjusting my techniques to fit your needs within each session.
I can also utilise various assessments to measure the severity of a specific problem, as well as determining your progress within therapy. I can provide a copy of these for your doctor to assist you further where requested.
Social anxiety can be debilitating in hampering healthy, confident interaction with others and can lead to isolation and loneliness. I am able to utilise specific somatic (mind/body) therapy techniques within the therapy session to support greater healing of the underlying and often subconscious cause. These gentle but effective techniques create a new positive sense of self.
My aim is to assist you with your life difficulties from social anxiety to restore balance, happiness and inner peace with various techniques of 'talk therapy' and somatic (mind/body) healing methods, along with offering practical strategies that may be useful where suitable and desired by you. Whatever you are going through, know that there is hope - Let me help you find that hope.

Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can feel incredibly exposing, like there's nowhere to hide. Introducing ourselves to a bunch of people or saying our name in a group can feel like a terrifying and even life-threatening task. And that's before we even get to giving a public talk.
There's usually a fear of being judged, criticised or shamed. And the fear of the anxiety arising in company is usually more debilitating than the anxiety itself. The important thing to know is that it's a very normal fear, and that lots of people experience it.
