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!

"While I wish that I could have a live, in-person therapist, my lifestyle (I move around a lot) and lack of comprehensive healthcare coverage makes this impossible. This is the next best option. While it isn't perfect, it's been a good supplement to have an emotional outlet and sounding board as I've been struggling with my mental health over the past year."

"To be honest, I misread when I signed up and was expecting to have some phsychotherapy elements in this. It is purely CBT based, which is effective and good, particularly because the therapists ask for clarity and are a bit more personable that your average NHS CBT therapist (in my experience). However, I am stretching my finances to be able to afford this, even by applying for reduced rate (which I AM grateful for!). I would recommend, but not for everyone, nor for all pockets."

"It's so easy to get started, you can do the therapy from the comfort of your home, easily before work or on your lunch break, and it's amazing always having access to a therapist when you have a comment or question outside of regular therapy hours. Definitely recommend, whether it's something big or small that you're dealing with!"

"I should've done this years ago, but I was overwhelmed at the workload. I needn't have been. My therapist and the toolkit and workbooks have made it so easy and manageable. I'm not suddenly cured overnight, but I understand myself better, I communicate my needs better, I'm finally healing old wounds with a renewed self-worth. One of the best decisions I made was coming to Online-Therapy."

"Its hard to find the right fit from the options available to me locally , especially without long waitlists. I found a great therapist on this online platform. The fact that it's so easy to sign up made me finally get help I needed."
