Clacton Social Anxiety Support
If you’re looking for Clacton social anxiety support, Tendring Time Bank offers a safe and welcoming place where you can start to feel at ease. Based in Clacton-on-Sea, we provide gentle, inclusive activities and community engagement opportunities tailored to people who experience anxiety in social settings.
Social anxiety can feel isolating. Even a simple conversation can seem overwhelming. At our centre, we understand those feelings and aim to make your experience stress-free. There’s no pressure to talk or take part right away. You can move at your own pace, with full support from understanding volunteers.
We regularly run drop-in sessions for tea, conversation, games, or light activities like arts and crafts. These relaxed events help individuals build confidence slowly, often leading to friendships and greater community connection. Many who attend our Clacton centre have faced similar challenges and know how difficult the first step can be.
Our support extends beyond just social groups. We offer gentle volunteering roles, admin assistance, and mental health resources for those referred by services like Mind or those self-referring. Everyone is treated with respect and care, whether you’re joining us for company or practical help.
Importantly, all support is delivered through our Time Banking model. That means every time you help someone, you earn Time Credits. Later, you can use these credits to get help yourself. This system promotes mutual respect and removes the pressure of financial cost, which can also add to anxiety.
Our activities are designed to include people with autism, dyslexia, and other neurodiverse conditions. We strive to create a calm, understanding environment where you can feel secure and accepted. Whether you stay for five minutes or the whole session, your presence is valued.
