Feeling shy or nervous about holding a speech or a presentation, are feelings that most of us have experienced in life. But if you constantly fear other people's attention, always feel watched or judged and feel afraid that you will embarrass yourself, then you might be suffering from social anxiety.

People with social anxiety often do everything they can to avoid the situations that make them anxious. Just the thought of a fearful social event can give physical symptoms like tightness in the chest, pounding of the heart, blushing and dizziness.

Social anxiety can have tremendously negative effects on your life, making you miss out on work opportunities and even relationships with friends and partners.

Our therapy for social anxiety is based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). With the help of CBT, you will learn to identify and challenge the automatic negative thoughts that underlie your fear of certain social situations. This might sound intimidating at first, but the key to your well-being is to stop avoiding the social situations that you find fearful. With the guidance of your therapist, you will gradually be exposed to these social situations. By doing so, you will learn how to deal with your fear and eventually you will be able to handle previously fearful situations without anxiety, allowing you to participate in your life, as you are supposed to do!

"I started on-line therapy to help me deal with decades of anger issues and PTSD from childhood. The therapy - especially my therapist - have been simply awesome, far exceeding my expectations. I've had more mental peace in the past months than in years. I have recommended this to my entire family. It will help them understand me and understand themselves."

"The sessions have been a great help in building conversation skills and understanding. Also, helping us to understand how are vastly different backgrounds have led to misunderstandings and how to overcome these problems"

"We started using online-therapy.com for the couples therapy and it's really great so far. I like that it contains a video course, that you can do by yourself with feedback from the therapist, additional to the sessions. We prefer the video sessions, compared to chat sessions. It's also quite helpful to be able to send messages in between session to your therapist. That way you can summarise before a meeting of what happened and use the time effectively.

A little downside seems to be so far, that you can only book one lesson per week, so if you had to reschedule due to an urgent thing, make sure you have one session per week. Otherwise you might lose out on that, it's not possible to do two sessions in one week, even if you didn't have one in the previous week!"

"We had tried couples therapy before but honestly it was chalk and cheese compared to the level of expertise, professionalism and guidance we have received from Lisa. The sessions and homework are genuinely making a difference to us both personally and as a couple - this has saved our marriage but also helped us to think about the people we want to be as we welcome our child in a few months time. I cannot rate Lisa highly enough, the service has been seamless to use and the learning modules inspiring and thought-changing. Thank you!"

"I like my meeting with my therapist , the previous was not as compasionate on her approach so I switched and I like her more, she is kind and listens while respecting my trail of thought. She makes me think further but I would like to go more deep in terms of guidance from their side. I also find because your therapists have back to back appointments sometimes, i feel that the closing of the discussion is kind of abrupt as we really share very personal experiences. I generally find that it has helped clear some things in my mind, I like the convenience of booking online my appointments."

"I really enjoy the service. IT gave me an option to get my mental health back on track at time where I didn't know where to go and I didn't have insurance at the time. I use mostly the site mostly as a journal and a place to talk to my therapist after I finished the initial content on the site but overall it has made big changes to my life. the fact that it does help with financial support if you can afford the full price is nice too."
