SOCIAL ANXIETY

If you become anxious in social situations, but feel fine when you're alone, then social anxiety may be the problem. The feelings of inadequacy, embarrassment, humiliation and depression that can come about as a result of social anxiety can have a huge impact your everyday life.

Social anxiety is also more common than you may think. It currently affects around 13% of the adult population in the UK and is the most prevalent of all anxiety disorders.

The good news is that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) has been clinically proven to bring about permanent changes in the lives of people with social anxiety. Also, carrying out this type of therapy as part of a group has been found to be the most effective way of overcoming these difficulties.
