Social anxiety looks different at different ages. In adults it may centre on work, performance situations or being observed. In children and teenagers it can appear as selective mutism, school refusal, separation difficulties or withdrawal from peers. We work with all of these, using graded exposure and cognitive approaches with older clients and play or art-based work with younger ones. Where social difficulty may relate to an unidentified neurodevelopmental difference, assessment is available within the same practice.

Dr. Antonio D'Costa
Registered Psychotherapist, M.B.B.S, M.D. (Paediatrics)
I specialize in pediatric medicine and trauma-focused therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My work centers on supporting children, adolescents, and adults through grief, anxiety, behavioral challenges, and the lingering effects of difficult experiences.
As a pediatrician, I've seen how unprocessed trauma shows up in young lives- through sleep troubles, feeding issues, social withdrawal, and emotional struggles. EMDR offers a gentle, research-backed path to healing that goes beyond words.
With EMDRIA-approved training and my pediatric experience, I help families navigate some of their most challenging moments. Whether it's a child struggling with grief, an adolescent facing anxiety, or an adult working through long-held wounds, my approach blends medical expertise with compassionate, evidence-based care.
I'm passionate about making mental health support accessible- offering teletherapy across India and internationally, with subsidized sessions available for those who need them.
Let's connect if you're looking for trauma-informed support, professional collaboration, or referrals for children and families in need.

Tyla Stroebel
Psychologist, BA Psych Hons; MSc
Social anxiety doesn’t mean you’re “anti-social”. It often comes from past experiences of feeling unsafe, misunderstood, or judged. We help you understand your social nervous system, develop realistic and empowering tools, and move towards connection without pressure to perform.
