Many of us feel socially awkward at points in our life. Perhaps we were told we were 'shy' as children, or have always struggled to make friends. This can leave us feeling isolated and lonely and we may tell ourselves that we are weird, different or simply do not know how to interact with others. The feelings and experiences associated with not fitting in, saying the wrong things or not being able to socialise can be devastating. I will work with you to look at your experience and how you speak to yourself as a way of understanding how you may impact others, allowing for a different way of being in the world.

Human beings are not the only social animal, but our ability to interact with other people is a critical factor in our lives and thereby our sense of wellbeing. Social anxiety arises for many different reasons-- sometimes as a result of difficult experiences during our upbringing, resulting in low self-esteem, for example. In recent times the temptation to compare ourselves to others has been distorted by cultural phenomena such as social media. We are constantly bombarded by images of success, beauty, attainment, wealth, and so on that we can never hope to achieve. This creates an unrealistic sense of worth and worthlessness that sometimes causes us to isolate ourselves even further. Psychological counselling can help evaluate who we really are, what we want to achieve, and how we can do this. In my experience the most effective treatment is an evaluation of the root causes of social anxiety in my clients. I then design a specific coaching program to enable my clients to engage with the social world.
As your dedicated coach specializing in social anxiety, I'm here to help you navigate social interactions with ease. Together, we'll uncover the roots of your anxiety, develop personalized strategies, and transform apprehension into authentic connections. Whether it's professional networking, social gatherings, or day-to-day encounters, our coaching journey is crafted to empower you.
Social anxiety can feel like a judgmental person is staring directly at you, obstructing your view of the actual people in front of you. It can feel like sitting in a dark, cold hole, surrounded by people who seem like a threat. This makes facing social situations feel daunting, leading you to believe that avoiding them is the solution. However, avoidance only reinforces the fear. So, how do you deal with this dilemma?
In my experience, it's about identifying the beliefs you hold, working through any painful past experiences that led to those beliefs, and learning to be your own compassionate friend in social situations.
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, but online therapy can help you regain confidence and control. I offer support to clients across the UK and EU who are struggling with social anxiety, providing a safe space to explore your fears and anxieties. With my guidance, we will work together to develop coping strategies, challenge negative thought patterns, and empower you to engage more comfortably in social situations.
