Therapy for social anxiety

You might rehearse what to say before a conversation, worry that people can see how nervous you are, or replay an ordinary interaction long after everyone else has moved on. Social anxiety can make meetings, friendships, dating, and everyday errands feel like situations you have to get through carefully.

In therapy, we look at what you fear other people will notice or think, and what you do to protect yourself. You might stay quiet, avoid eye contact, overprepare, or leave early. We can explore how these habits affect you and practise taking small social risks without relying on them so heavily.

The work may include examining your predictions, shifting attention away from constant self-monitoring, and gradually approaching situations you have been avoiding. We will also make room for the experiences that have shaped how safe you feel around other people.

You do not have to become the loudest person in the room. We can work toward being more comfortable participating in the ways you actually want to.
