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 think it's great since it's not just therapy sessions, but also messages, videos, worksheets, journal, activity calendar etc. I think it's a great program and my therapist responds to my messages in a timely manner and is very helpful in our video sessions. She said she's seen improvement in me (and so has my mom) and I have seen it, too. I'm very grateful for starting this experience and I want to continue for another 2 or 3 months."

"I can’t say enough good things about Bernadette. She’s my very first therapist, and I’ve been working with her for about a year now. From the beginning, she made me feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. Therapy with her has helped me grow so much, and I honestly feel great compared to where I started. She’s thoughtful, kind, and incredibly helpful, and I’m so grateful I found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering therapy."

"Belinda is a really responsive therapist (even “out of hours”). I’ve only signed up for the worksheets and messaging service but I’ve got so much out of this so far. It’s obviously a very personal journey. I’ve been very active sometimes and then others less so - taking a step back to just take things in - Belinda reads this brilliantly. She is very supportive and reassuring."
