At Talking Therapies UK, we provide specialised online therapy for Social Anxiety Disorder, helping you manage fear of social situations and build lasting confidence. Our experienced therapists use evidence-based methods to reduce anxiety, improve communication, and help you feel more comfortable connecting with others.
We understand how isolating social anxiety can be. Through compassionate, structured therapy, we support you every step of the way toward a calmer, more fulfilling life.
Social Anxiety Disorder (sometimes called social phobia) involves a persistent, overwhelming fear of social interactions, often driven by concerns about judgment or embarrassment. This fear can lead to intense anxiety and avoidance behaviours that disrupt everyday life.
Avoiding social gatherings, meetings, or public speaking engagements.
Experiencing intense anxiety before and during social interactions due to fear of being judged or embarrassed.
Experiencing symptoms such as sweating, trembling, or a rapid heartbeat in social situations.
Having a persistent belief that others are watching and judging you critically.
These symptoms can make it difficult to form relationships, pursue career goals, or enjoy social events. Recognising that social anxiety is treatable is the first and most important step toward recovery.
At Talking Therapies UK, we use effective, evidence-based techniques to help you manage and reduce symptoms of social anxiety in a supportive, structured way.
CBT is highly effective in treating Social Anxiety Disorder. It focuses on changing the negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to your anxiety. By learning to challenge and reframe these thoughts, you can reduce your fear and improve your ability to interact with others. CBT also teaches practical skills for managing anxiety in social situations.
This therapeutic approach gradually exposes you to social situations in a controlled and supportive environment, helping you reduce your fear and build confidence over time. Exposure therapy helps you confront and overcome your fears in a structured way, allowing you to develop coping strategies and reduce avoidance behaviours.
We help you develop effective communication and social interaction skills, enabling you to navigate social situations more comfortably and confidently. Social skills training provides you with the tools to improve your interactions and build stronger relationships.
Our holistic approach ensures therapy addresses both the emotional and behavioural aspects of social anxiety, helping you achieve meaningful, lasting progress.
