Different people respond to different approaches and hence consulting a counselling psychologist can help you get to the core of the issues that you are facing since childhood. Therapeutic approaches like CBT can be used to help you manage your social phobia and anxiety. CBT can help you identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and help in developing effective coping strategies. Other approaches like Psychotherapy or NLP can also be useful. Additionally, practising deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may help reduce your anxiety.
