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.

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.

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.

Rob McClintock Counselling
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Dip Counselling ACA, Clinical Hypnotherapist ASCH,
Social anxiety can turn everyday interactions into overwhelming ordeals, making you feel like everyone is watching, judging, or waiting for you to fail. The fear of embarrassment, rejection, or saying the wrong thing can keep you isolated, missing out on relationships, career opportunities, and life experiences. Having experienced acute anxiety myself, I understand how paralyzing these fears can be and how they create a prison of avoidance and self-consciousness. My approach to social anxiety goes beyond exposure therapy or coping strategies to address the subconscious beliefs and past experiences that fuel your fear of social judgment. Using Subconscious Dynamics™, we identify and transform the deep-seated programming that interprets social situations as threats, allowing you to rewire your nervous system's automatic responses. This work helps you develop genuine confidence in social settings, moving from survival mode to authentic connection with others.
