What counselling for social anxiety can help with

You don’t need a diagnosis to reach out. These are the forms social anxiety most often takes:

👁️
Fear of judgement

A constant sense of being watched and found wanting, long after the moment has passed.

🗣️
Speaking up & being seen

Dread of presentations, meetings, class, phone calls — anywhere attention might land on you.

😳
The physical tells

Blushing, shaking, a trembling voice or going blank — and the fear that everyone noticed.

🔁
Replaying it afterwards

Picking over every conversation for what you “got wrong”, sometimes for days.

🚪
Avoidance

Turning down invitations, staying quiet, or steering around people — and a life that keeps narrowing.

💼
The cost to study & work

Holding back in class or at work, so your ability never quite shows — and the frustration of that.

How it works

1
Take the free anxiety check

The GAD-7 is a short, well-known anxiety scale. Two minutes, no sign-up, nothing saved — it helps you see how heavy things have got.

2
Book your slot

Pick a time from the live calendar and get the video-call invite straight away. Video, voice or chat — your choice.

3
Talk it through

45 minutes with the same counsellor every time. You leave with practical, step-by-step ways forward, not a sales pitch.

Confidential means confidential

Price isn’t what stops most people booking. It’s the worry that someone will find out. So, plainly:

What this is, and what it isn’t

It’s counselling support, not treatment: confidential conversations about what you’re carrying and what might help. We don’t diagnose conditions and we don’t prescribe medication, and this isn’t an emergency service. If what you describe needs a psychiatrist, your counsellor will tell you so in the first session and help you find one. You won’t be sold a package instead.

What a session costs

₹499 for 45 minutes, and your first one is ₹249 with the code FIRST50. Private counselling in India usually runs ₹1,500 to ₹3,000 a session. You’re not signing up for a course of treatment — you’re booking one conversation, and you can stop after it.

Frequently asked questions

Is social anxiety just shyness?

No. Shyness is a trait; social anxiety is a persistent fear of judgement strong enough to make you avoid things you actually want to do, and to cost you at work, in study and in relationships. That difference — the avoidance and the toll — is exactly what support helps with.

Can counselling help if I’m anxious about the session itself?

Yes, and it’s very common — the fact that it’s online, from your own space, with the option of voice or chat rather than video, takes a lot of that pressure off. Feeling nervous about reaching out is part of what you’re reaching out about, and that’s understood from the first minute.

Is the anxiety check a diagnosis?

No. The GAD-7 is a brief reflection scale, not a diagnosis, and your answers aren’t stored. Only a qualified professional can diagnose a social anxiety disorder; your counsellor will say so if that’s the direction.

Will anyone find out?

No. Nothing is shared with your parents, school, college or employer — no report, no summary, not even confirmation that you attended. A first name is enough to book.

How much does it cost?

A session is ₹499 for 45 minutes, and your first is ₹249 with the code FIRST50. No packages — you book one conversation at a time.
