Hi Steven,

I've had cbt but not specifically for social anxiety although I do suffer with this myself. CBT is all about changing your thought process and gradually exposing yourself to what you fear. With this in mind, I'm sure it can be used for social anxiety and is worth trying. Have you spoken to your GP about it?

Best of luck,

Mike :)

Hi Steven yes i did when in my twenties, it was really good, probably cause i just gelled well with the therapist, it pretty much cured me in about 6-8 sessions.
This was when i lived in Swindon and i thank that place really from the bottom of my heart,
So yes its well worth it Steven
But like anything it may not work for everyone
But good luck and best wishes to you
