Clinical areas

Social anxiety and difficulties in social situations

Fear of others' judgment, discomfort in social situations, difficulty speaking in public or sustaining conversations: when these experiences limit daily life, a CBT pathway can make a significant difference.

The approach

How we work.

The work includes psychoeducation on social anxiety, cognitive restructuring of dysfunctional thoughts related to judgment, assertiveness training and gradual exposure to feared situations.

When to seek help

Signs not to overlook.

When fear of judgment limits work, relationships or daily choices; when social situations that others handle easily are systematically avoided.

What to expect

Timelines and format.

Results are often stable over time, consolidated through progressive exposure. The duration of the pathway depends on the complexity of the presentation and the goals defined together.
