About Us
Conquer Social Anxiety is a psychoeducation project about social anxiety and related struggles — such as fear of being judged, social avoidance, performance anxiety, and the many ways these can show up in everyday life. The goal is straightforward: take what research and clinical psychology have learned, and turn it into clear, usable information for people who are actually dealing with this.
Who runs the site
The website was founded by Martin Stork (MSc). Martin writes the content and is responsible for what gets published and updated (you can read more about Martin here). James and Caty helped with the technical setup in the early days, when the project was getting off the ground. We registered the project as a business in London (UK) in 2021 to formalize operations.
A quick note on boundaries
This site is educational. It’s not a place for diagnosis or personalized treatment, and it doesn’t create a therapist–client relationship. If social anxiety is seriously affecting your life, working with a qualified professional is often the most helpful next step.
What you’ll find here
Most of what we publish is grounded in approaches with strong evidence and broad clinical acceptance. You’ll also find discussions of other approaches that have been studied. When we cover something that’s newer, less established, or has mixed evidence, we try to say that clearly rather than oversell it.
Our online course
Alongside the website, we offer educational resources, including a self-help book and an online psychoeducation course. These are designed for learning and skill-building. They are not psychotherapy, and they are not meant to replace professional care. Before purchase, participants agree to those boundaries and to use the material responsibly.
How content is created
Articles are written from peer-reviewed research and reputable clinical sources, and we include references whenever possible. When the evidence is limited or unclear, we say so. And when new research changes the picture, we update it.
Transparency
Sometimes we recommend services or products that may be useful. If a link is an affiliate link, we disclose that. Regardless, the aim is to stay evidence-informed and practical, not promotional.
Contact
You can reach us at contact@conquersocialanxiety.com. Because this is an educational project, we can’t provide individualized clinical advice by email. If you are in immediate danger or at risk of harm, contact local emergency services or a crisis hotline in your country.
