Therapy for social anxiety
Do you find yourself struggling with issues such as:
Feeling anxious for days before a meeting, class, or social gathering?
Ruminating over your words — replaying discussions and fearing that you embarrassed yourself?
Experiencing a racing heart, flushed face, or shaky voice when speaking in front of others?
Avoiding social gatherings due to fears of judgment, rejection, or appearing foolish?
Longing to connect with others yet feeling too anxious to make the attempt?
If any of these resonate with you, it’s possible that you are experiencing social anxiety — an intense fear of being judged negatively by others. This can turn everyday interactions into daunting challenges and leave you feeling alone, even when you crave connection.
How CBT Can Assist:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the most effective treatments for social anxiety. It aids you in comprehending your mental and physical reactions — while also equipping you with techniques to alter them.
In therapy, you’ll learn to:
Recognise unhelpful thoughts such as “Everyone’s judging me” and substitute them with more realistic ones.
Confront social scenarios gradually, starting with easier situations and progressively building your confidence.
Practice calming techniques for breathing, grounding, and self-kindness.
Understand that while anxiety might be uncomfortable, it isn't harmful — and it diminishes when you remain present in the moment.
Therapy empowers you to gain confidence and freedom in social contexts. You'll discover that you can manage anxiety, engage with others, and be your authentic self — without fear constraining you.
