Social Anxiety
Social anxiety involves excessive worry about being embarrassed, negatively evaluated or rejected by others. This can lead to avoidance due to high levels of anxiety in social situations like parties, phone calls, group conversations, or public speaking.
Fortunately, social anxiety is highly treatable, and many people who seek help improve significantly. Our treatment program uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), providing practical skills to manage symptoms, break negative cycles, and help you feel better.

Who will find this program helpful?
This program is helpful for people who feel extremely self-conscious, fearful of judgment, or anxious in social or performance situations. It’s designed for those who avoid social interactions due to fear of embarrassment or criticism and want to build confidence and reduce anxiety.
What will I learn in the program?
You’ll learn to tackle physical sensations, shift unhelpful thoughts, and change behaviours that maintain anxiety. You'll learn about social anxiety, tackling avoidance through exposure therapy, troubleshooting exposure, identifying unhelpful thinking styles, challenging thoughts, developing social skills, and preventing relapses.
How long does the program take?
The program consists of six modules, and it's recommended to complete one module every 1-2 weeks, allowing time to practice the skills learned.
How much does the program cost?
The program is free when prescribed by a clinician registered with THIS WAY UP. If you choose to enrol independently via the self-help pathway, a fee of AUD $59 applies.
We've also partnered with selected private health insurers to give you free access to one of our mental health treatment programs.
What kind of support will I receive?
If your clinician prescribes the program, they can monitor your progress and wellbeing scores, providing support as needed. If you enrol as 'self-help', the program is fully automated, and while technical assistance is available, there is no clinical support.
