Mental Health Has No Borders.
Bridging the gap between clinical research and real-life recovery.
The Story Behind the Platform
SocialAnxiety.co is the flagship English-language platform of the AnxietySolve global initiative. But before it was a network, it was just one person looking for answers.
This platform was founded by James Holloway after a decade-long battle with severe social anxiety. Like many of our readers, James found that traditional "medical advice" was often too abstract, expensive, or difficult to apply in high-pressure situations—like a job interview, a first date, or a crowded room.
Our Philosophy: The "Researcher-Survivor" Model
We realized there was a disconnect. Doctors have the science, but they often lack the lived experience of the daily struggle.
We built this platform to bridge that gap. We are a team of researchers, writers, and survivors dedicated to translating complex psychological concepts—like Exposure Therapy and Cognitive Restructuring—into clear, actionable playbooks that anyone can use.
Our Global Mission
Anxiety is a universal human experience. That is why we operate as part of AnxietySolve.org, delivering localized, native-language support to Italy, France, Germany, Finland, and beyond. We believe that help should be available in the language you think in.

I spent a decade battling severe social anxiety. I founded this site to translate the years of CBT and Exposure Therapy research I used in my own recovery into the practical playbook I wish I’d had.
