Social anxiety can make ordinary interactions feel as though they are being closely judged. Conversations, meetings, social events or simply entering an unfamiliar environment may trigger worry long before anything actually happens.
Jennie Kitching offers personalised hypnotherapy for social anxiety, helping you work with the automatic thoughts and responses that can make social situations feel threatening or overwhelming.

What can social anxiety feel like?
​
You may worry about saying the wrong thing, appearing nervous, being unable to think of what to say or being negatively judged by other people.
​
Some people replay conversations afterwards and focus on things they believe they handled badly. Others avoid events altogether or rely on familiar people to make situations feel manageable.
​
Physical symptoms can include blushing, sweating, shaking, tension, a racing heart or feeling unable to relax
How avoidance can reinforce anxiety
​
Avoiding a difficult social situation can provide immediate relief, but repeated avoidance may strengthen the belief that the situation was unsafe or that you could not have coped.
​
Over time, this can reduce confidence and make an increasing number of situations feel challenging.
Hypnotherapy can support you in developing calmer expectations and responses so that social situations no longer automatically trigger the same level of alarm.

How hypnotherapy may help social anxiety
​
Hypnotherapy uses a relaxed and focused state to work with established thoughts, beliefs and emotional associations.
​
Jennie can help you focus on how you would prefer to think and respond in social situations, reinforcing a more balanced sense of confidence and reducing excessive self-monitoring.
​
You remain aware and in control throughout the process. Sessions are tailored around your specific triggers and goals.
​​
Building social confidence
​
The goal is not necessarily to become highly outgoing. You may simply want to attend events without days of worry, contribute more comfortably in meetings, meet new people or stop analysing every conversation afterwards.
​
Jennie's building self-confidence resources may also be useful where social anxiety and confidence overlap.
​​
A personalised approach
Social anxiety affects people differently. Jennie will discuss the situations you find most difficult, what you currently do to manage them and what meaningful improvement would look like for you.
​
Work can then focus on the areas that would have the greatest practical impact on your everyday life.
Take the first step
​
If social anxiety is limiting your relationships, work or everyday choices, you can explore whether hypnotherapy could help you develop a calmer and more confident response.
