Counsellor/Therapist, Accredited, MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy, MBACP Reg
I offer compassionate support and evidence-based strategies to help individuals overcome the debilitating effects of social anxiety. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those grappling with social anxiety, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to explore their fears and develop effective coping mechanisms. Drawing upon my expertise and extensive experience, I empower clients to gradually face their social fears, build confidence, and ultimately thrive in social situations with greater ease and comfort.
It is so frustrating when you want to connect to others, to enjoy social engagements that everyone else seems to find so easy and yet you feel that you just can't. You get panicky, you struggle for the right words, you go a nice beetroot colour and fear that others will think you are stupid. I can help you change how you respond so that you can engage with others in a meaningful and enjoyable way.
Social anxiety, like many other conditions that present with anxiety is amenable to therapy. Often there are unique features but working through these can help detoxify the fear and panic and help you into a more normal life. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.
We help many of our clients resolve / beat their social anxiety and other anxieties, such as performance anxiety and General Anxiety Disorder (GAD). We use a combination of Hypnotherapy and Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction for Anxiety. Let us help you now.
