Stop social anxiety holding you back

Alena’s proven program can help if you are:

  • Finding it hard to speak up at work, or achieve your career goals

  • Have difficulty giving presentations, public speaking or making phone calls

  • Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted after social events

  • Avoiding social situations, and overthinking afterwards

Follow a structured program

The Alena program is rooted in cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), a proven and effective approach to managing social anxiety. The program comes in bite-sized pieces that can be curated specifically to your needs, ensuring you focus only on the aspects most relevant to you. There's no one-size-fits-all here; it's therapy as unique as you are.

Get support whenever you need it

Life can be overwhelming, but managing social anxiety doesn't have to be. Exercises in the app take 2-5 minutes, and you can take things at your own pace. With our proven approach, you can start to see a noticeable improvement in just 4 weeks.

Understand why you feel this way

Alena delves deep to understand the root causes of your anxiety. With the help of objective, science-backed assessments, you'll gain insight into which thoughts and behaviors are making you feel anxious or overwhelmed.

Help that works

“I recommend this app for people who struggle with anxiety. It's well made and also the developers behind it are really nice people who seem to actually want to help others. Give it a try”

— Izzy Sophia

“This app has been brilliant at helping me work through my social anxiety. I've done CBT before and it didn't work so I was skeptical, but the way Alena does it is a different approach and I find it very helpful! Thank you!”

— Courtney Frazier

“Alena is detailed and specific to social anxiety. So far it's been extremely helpful with my experience challenging my thoughts surrounding social anxiety and other issues. The app discusses exposure to combat social anxiety and this is a tool I've tried before but not with guidance. Alena gives guidance on exposure and many other tools in a calming, helpful tone. Thank you for creating an amazing app, I can tell that this app was created with passion, knowledge and kindness.”
