Therapy for Social Anxiety

Slide 1

Therapy for Social Anxiety

If social situations leave you feeling panicked, self-conscious or emotionally drained, you’re not alone. Whether it’s fear of judgement, avoidance of groups, or anxiety that builds just from the thought of being around others, social anxiety can be deeply limiting—but it doesn’t have to define you.

At Laura Adlam Therapy Solutions, I offer calm, one-to-one therapy for social anxiety, helping you feel safer in yourself and more confident in the world around you.

What Is Social Anxiety?

Social anxiety isn’t just shyness. It’s a persistent fear of social interactions that can affect your everyday life—work, relationships, or simply leaving the house.

You may experience:

Fear of being judged or criticised
Worry about saying or doing the “wrong” thing
Avoidance of groups, meetings, or public speaking
Blushing, sweating or shaking in social settings
Overthinking conversations afterwards
A constant inner critic or sense of being “on show”

These feelings can be exhausting—and they often go unnoticed by others.

How Therapy Can Help

Therapy for social anxiety creates a safe, quiet space to talk about the thoughts, fears and experiences that keep you stuck. You won’t be judged or rushed. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s fuelling your anxiety, and how to reduce its hold on your day-to-day life.

Therapy can help you:

Understand where your anxiety comes from
Learn how to calm your nervous system and feel grounded
Challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and self-criticism
Build confidence in handling social situations
Feel more at ease being yourself around others

You don’t have to become an extrovert. This is about helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.

Support That Works for You

I offer flexible, one-to-one support in the format that feels most accessible:

Face-to-face sessions in Herefordshire
Online therapy via Zoom
Telephone therapy, if voice-only feels more manageable

Sessions are designed to reduce pressure and work at your pace.

“Just a little message to say a huge thank you. I certainly would not be where I am without having you to get me back on track”. (Read more on the Testimonials page.)
