SOCIAL ANXIETY THERAPY IN GLASGOW| REGAIN CONFIDENCE
Feel Normal Again In Your Social Life
Social Anxiety Therapy in Glasgow
Your mind goes blank mid-conversation. Face burning red, you're sure everyone notices. The fear of saying something stupid is paralysing, so you say nothing. Later, you replay every interaction, cringing at things you said - or didn't say. These are common experience that I see in my Glasgow therapy clinic. Perhaps you identify with these experiences:
• You've turned down promotions because they involve presentations
• Dating feels impossible when you can barely maintain eye contact
• You eat lunch alone to avoid awkward small talk
• Group invitations trigger dread, not excitement
• You rehearse ordering coffee, terrified of stumbling over words
• Online is easier, but real-life connections feel impossibly hard
• Hiding in the bathroom while you have a panic episode our for coffee or drinks with people
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many people live with social anxiety, but with the right therapy, you can break free from fear and reconnect with others.
Understanding Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder — also called social phobia — is one of the most common anxiety conditions. It often includes:
Fear of being judged, criticised, or embarrassed
Avoiding social events, presentations, or group settings
Physical symptoms like blushing, sweating, trembling, or a racing heart
Overthinking conversations long after they’ve ended
Without support, social anxiety can be isolating. But effective social anxiety counselling in Glasgow is available and proven to help.

My Approach to Social Anxiety Therapy
I’m Rebecca, an anxiety specialist providing therapy in Glasgow. My approach combines empathy with evidence-based techniques to create lasting change through tailored counselling Glasgow sessions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Social Anxiety
CBT helps you recognise distorted thinking patterns (e.g., “Everyone is judging me”) and replace them with more balanced perspectives. We’ll also practice real-life coping strategies for difficult social moments.
Exposure Therapy (Gradual and Safe)
Step by step, we’ll gradually face feared situations, helping you build confidence and reduce avoidance behaviours.
Compassion-Focused Therapy
Since many people with social anxiety are highly self-critical, compassion-based methods help reduce shame and increase self-kindness.
