10 Steps to Feeling More Confident

A Practical CBT Resource for Assessment, Formulation and Intervention

The Social Anxiety Intervention Guide is a comprehensive, step by step CBT resource designed to support both clinicians and individuals in understanding and treating social anxiety using evidence based approaches.

Grounded in cognitive behavioural therapy and aligned with NHS and IAPT style practice, this guide brings together psychoeducation, formulation, and practical intervention tools in one clear, accessible workbook style resource.

It is suitable for:

CBT, CWP, PWP and EMHP's

Qualified practitioners working with social anxiety

Students and early career clinicians

Individuals seeking structured, evidence based self help

Parents for use with a younger child and teens.

What’s included

This guide takes you through the full CBT pathway for social anxiety, including:

A clear explanation of what social anxiety is and how it is maintained

Psychoeducation around the fear of negative evaluation, self focused attention, and safety behaviours

A structured CBT formulation for social anxiety, helping link thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours

Identification and reduction of safety behaviours

Guidance on attention training and behavioural experiments

Support with graded exposure and habituation

Worksheets to help challenge unhelpful beliefs and assumptions

Reflection prompts to support learning and relapse prevention

The worksheets are designed to be practical and usable, rather than overly academic, making them ideal for real world clinical work or self guided use.

How it can be used

As a stand alone intervention guide for social anxiety

Alongside therapy sessions as structured between session work

As a training and revision resource for CBT based courses

As part of a wider CBT programme or wellbeing curriculum

Worksheets can be printed or used digitally and are suitable for both individual and group work.

Why this guide is different

This resource has been developed by a practitioner with extensive experience working in NHS talking therapies and education settings. It bridges the gap between theory and practice by focusing on how social anxiety actually shows up in day to day life, and how CBT techniques can be applied in a realistic, compassionate way.

The language is clear, supportive and non pathologising, making it accessible while still clinically robust.

Important note

This guide is intended as a therapeutic and educational resource. It does not replace individual therapy or clinical supervision, but can be used alongside professional support or as structured self help.
