Dr Anthony Gunn is a registered psychologist, specialising in treating anxiety and phobias.

He is the author of several books – his latest Friendship: the Joy of Connection shows how important friends are for a fulfilled and happy life. Anthony Gunn gives tips and suggestions on how to improve your social relationships, how to become more confident in social situations, how to avoid traps that jeopardise friendships and how to recognise unhealthy friendships and identify behavioural patterns that prevent you from making the most of your social connections. He inspires you to step out of your comfort zone to invest time in friendship, make new friends, improve existing friendships and challenge yourself to overcome habits that have a negative impact on your friends and family.
