Social anxiety is more than just shyness—it’s a persistent fear of being judged, criticised, or rejected in social or performance situations.
It can show up as:
- Intense worry before, during, or after social interactions
- Fear of being embarrassed, saying the “wrong” thing, or being negatively evaluated
- Avoiding eye contact, public speaking, or group settings
- Difficulty meeting new people or initiating conversations
- Overanalyzing social interactions long after they’ve happened
- Physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, trembling, or a racing heart
- A strong urge to avoid social situations altogether
Through evidence-based therapy, you can earn practical tools to manage anxiety in social situations, build self-confidence and assertiveness, reconnect with others in ways that feel genuine and manageable and move forward with a greater sense of ease and self-acceptance.
