Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP (Qualifying), RCC, CCC
It can be exhausting having to navigate other people - their moods, their needs - and also feel comfortable enough to be yourself around other people. I support people in understanding their stressors when they are around other people and addressing them at a personal level - so that they can both manage their needs when they are around others and be comfortable in their own skin in social settings. *Free 15 min Consultation Phone Call*

Mark Giesbrecht, MA, CCC, RCC - Psychotherapist
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CT, CCC, RCC
Social anxiety is when a person avoids interacting with people either individually or in groups to lessen the physical, emotional and mental stress they feel when they don't know how to deal with others expectations. Leaning how to best manage anxiety is the first step, unless you had a traumatic experience that created the social distancing behaviours.

Reg Fleming
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., RMFT, RCC
Social and other anxieties can be very problematic, supporting a belief that a strategy to avoid or at least limit social connections is a good temporary solution. I have worked with client anxieties and fears that restrict their capacities to connect with others, and reinforce beliefs that there is something wrong with them. I see anxiety as a natural fear response that can escalate into the temporary solutions, like avoidance or isolation. This can, in turn, develop into a bigger problem. I work with clients in a process to understanding their origins of these patterns and defences. Once they trust that I understand, then I support them to address the issues that burdened or harmed them and regain their Self as more calm; confident; and courageous with connecting with others.
