Therapy for social anxiety and confidence
Social anxiety is more than just shyness. It is a persistent fear of being judged, watched, or humiliated in social or performance situations. Therapy for social anxiety helps you unpack these fears and gently build the capacity to engage with the world on your own terms.
How social anxiety limits life
You might find yourself cancelling plans at the last minute, over-preparing for simple work meetings, or replaying social interactions for days afterwards looking for mistakes. This takes a massive toll on your energy and limits opportunities.
Many people with social anxiety also experience physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, or a trembling voice when the spotlight is on them, which only adds to the distress.
Building confidence through therapy
Neha Malik uses evidence-based approaches to help you identify the core beliefs driving the anxiety. We work collaboratively to test these beliefs and gradually reduce the avoidance behaviours that keep social anxiety going.
Online therapy is often a highly accessible starting point for social anxiety, as it removes the immediate pressure of an in-person clinic visit, allowing you to start the work from a comfortable environment.
Setting realistic goals
The goal is not necessarily to become an extrovert, but to ensure that anxiety isn't making decisions for you. Whether it is speaking up in a meeting or attending a family gathering without distress, we move at a pace you define.
Questions people ask
Are online sessions effective for social anxiety?
Yes. Online therapy provides a safe, familiar environment (your home) to begin the work of understanding your anxiety, making the first steps of therapy feel less overwhelming.
Will I be forced to do things I am afraid of?
No. Any behavioural experiments or exposure exercises are planned collaboratively. You are always in control of the pace and the steps you take.
