Audra McKellar
Counsellor/Therapist, MNCS (accred), Prof.Dip.Psy.C, SMACCPH
It is so frustrating when you want to connect to others, to enjoy social engagements that everyone else seems to find so easy and yet you feel that you just can't. You get panicky, you struggle for the right words, you go a nice beetroot colour and fear that others will think you are stupid. I can help you change how you respond so that you can engage with others in a meaningful and enjoyable way.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Social anxiety is a common mental health disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. This can lead to avoidance of social situations, difficulty making friends, and difficulty with work or school.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals with social anxiety. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) which have been proven to be effective in treating social anxiety.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their social anxiety. ACT, on the other hand, is a form of therapy that helps individuals accept their feelings of anxiety, rather than trying to eliminate them, and learn to engage in life in a meaningful way despite the presence of anxiety.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your social anxiety and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building self-confidence, increasing social skills and exposure to social situations, and developing a support system.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of social anxiety, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.

Social anxiety, like many other conditions that present with anxiety is amenable to therapy. Often there are unique features but working through these can help detoxify the fear and panic and help you into a more normal life. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Tilley Fine
Life Coach, Certified Conscious Parent Coach CPMCP™, Clinical Certification for Stress, Anxiety and Self-Regulation
I provide compassionate support to individuals who struggle with overwhelming feelings of fear and discomfort in social situations. Do you find yourself avoiding social gatherings, feeling self-conscious, or experiencing intense physical symptoms like sweating, trembling, or rapid heartbeat when interacting with others? These are common symptoms of social anxiety that can significantly impact your quality of life.
Just the other day, I was standing at Starbucks and was afraid to ask for a straw for my drink. Even after all the work I have done, sometimes my own social anxiety creeps back in. The difference is that now I have tools to get though these situations.
Drawing from my expertise as a stress and anxiety coach, I offer practical strategies and personalized guidance to help you overcome social anxiety and regain confidence in social settings. Together, we'll explore the underlying beliefs and thought patterns that contribute to your anxiety, and we'll work on developing healthier coping mechanisms and self-esteem.

Donna Mitchell
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
I find the way we feel around others has a lot do with how we feel towards ourselves. I naturally see the best in people and can work with you to be more on your own team and less self critical. We can work to increase your confidence by changing how you see yourself and talk to yourself.
