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.

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 is perhaps just a complicated way to say you feel uncomfortable around people. It's a pretty common phenomenon, but for some of us it gets out of hand. Fortunately, there are ways to meet it and we can explore some of them and find out what works for you.

Adima Hawkes
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Teacher, Gene Keys Guide, Trainer Tibetan Acupressure & Iridology
This world is crazy and in a mess. This is often frightening. When you are highly sensitive (read this too) or rather introvert, one can easily wish to retreat from social activities. The thing is that w ARE social beings and in a way need to be totters and share as a nourishment and inspiration fro our soul. Meeting the anxiety will be as you unique as you are. The theme is a bit similar to what I wrote in "Life Transitions" , "Depression", and "Highly Sensitive Person" maybe you also want to read one of these. You are welcome when you are open to step out of the prison, you do not need to know how... we will find out together.

Alicia Adam
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelors of Psychology
Our self esteem and past experiences impact how we perceive others perceiving us. Our perception of another often being the precipitating factor of social anxiety. Anxiety based on assumptions and narratives created through past experience however no longer reflecting the present. We will focus on naming unhelping stories and thoughts so we can de identify with them. This gives us the opportunity create new perceptions that witness us as desired, secure and detached from worries based on other peoples thoughts & opinions.
