Social anxiety can make even the simplest interactions feel incredibly stressful. You may worry about how others perceive you, or fear making mistakes in conversations. This constant self-monitoring can cause you to avoid social events or over analyse every interaction, which only feeds your anxiety.
How Therapy Helps
In therapy, we’ll address the negative thoughts and fears that fuel your social anxiety. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and exposure exercises, we’ll help you gradually face social situations in a manageable way. You'll develop skills to challenge unhelpful beliefs, communicate more effectively, and practice being present in the moment.
Practical & Emotional Benefits
On a practical level, you’ll gain skills to manage anxiety during social interactions and feel more at ease. Emotionally, you’ll feel more confident and capable in social settings. You’ll begin to experience a greater sense of freedom to connect with others and enjoy interactions without overwhelming fear.
