Social Anxiety Disorder is an overwhelming fear of social situations. It is also known as social phobias and is a common problem for young people especially during the teenage years. Social anxiety is not just being shy but is an intense fear that affects everyday life, activities and self-confidence, relationships and school or college life.
Our Social Anxiety Support is for young people aged 5 to 17 years and is delivered as one-to-one behaviour support or family support sessions.
The one-to-one support service give young people the freedom and safety to explore issues that affect them on a more personal level. After an initial assessment has been made, regular one-to-one support session s will take place. We charge £40 per session for this behavioural support and all our meetings take place at the North Cray Neighbourhood Centre.
The family support sessions give families the space and opportunity to discuss and resolve anxiety issues affecting them in a non-judgemental environment. Together families can work towards finding common ground and develop strategies to reduce family conflicts. We charge £40 per session for this behavioural support and all meetings take place at the North Cray Neighbourhood Centre which is neutral ground for most families.
