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!

"Therapy with my current counsellor has helped me so drastically with navigating my mind and internal world, where I now feel I have more tools to notice negative thought patterns and change my mind, therefore changing my life course. Everyone should have therapy as this has been so helpful and healing which is something we can all benefit from."

"I really enjoy my therapist, having continuous work to do in between sessions to maintain focus, and love the chat feature.
I do wish the booking feature was sorted out a little bit better. Sometimes therapists need the patients to reschedule but the website interface doesn't allow."
