Nicklas Ehrlich
Counsellor/Therapist, MSW, RCC (#0843), RSW (#11561), Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Life-Coach, Hypnotherapist, Advanced Neurofeedback Trainer
Social anxiety is very common and can greatly be helped by re-setting the central nervous system and brain, as well as reframing any negative beliefs and fears that are in the unconscious mind. This can be accomplished through neurofeedback, hypnosis along with learning effective sills and tools.

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.

Kai DeMaeyer, Talk with Kai Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Q)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)(ACCT), B.A., M.A. Psychology ( India)
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, leading to fear of judgment, avoidance of social situations, and difficulty expressing oneself confidently. It can affect relationships, work, and overall quality of life. I offer a safe and understanding space where clients can explore these concerns without pressure or criticism.
My approach focuses on building emotional safety, self-confidence, and practical coping skills. Through gradual support, clients learn to manage anxious thoughts, strengthen self-trust, and feel more comfortable engaging in social and professional settings at their own pace.

Jayne Batten
Counsellor/Therapist, MSc, CT, MPCC, MBACP
I help clients with social anxiety by gently unpacking the fear of judgment, rejection, or humiliation that can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming. While social anxiety can be part of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), it’s also often a natural response for neurodivergent individuals navigating a world not designed for their communication styles or sensory needs. Therapy focuses on building self-compassion, developing coping strategies, and supporting clients in expressing themselves authentically while gradually expanding their sense of safety in social spaces.

Social Anxiety
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.

Donna M Torbico - HEAL & GROW for ACoAs
Counsellor/Therapist, Recovery Therapist in Private Practice 40 years
This is caused by negative, usually unrealistic beliefs about ourselves & others. It is underpinned by actual childhood rejections, which now are projected out onto everyone we meet, especially onto strangers.

Clayre Sessoms
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CCC, ATR-BC
Experiencing social anxiety means your body may be intuitively perceiving interpersonal spaces as direct threats to your safety or comfort, which is often a valid response to environments where you have faced systemic unsafety. Rather than forcing you to simply push through your fear, my online practice in BC focuses on understanding and validating these somatic threat responses. By focusing on slowed-down relational safety, we can help your nervous system soften, allowing genuine connection with others to unfold organically.

Reema Qamar
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC, CCC
Therapy focuses on identifying critical incidences that informed underlying negative thoughts, fears, and beliefs that may be contributing to anxiety. CBT is used to explore earlier experiences and how they are perpetuating current anxiety symptoms and teaching coping strategies to deal with anxiety. A neurobiological lens is used to understand the impact of stress and brain development.

Insomnia Help Canada
Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor
Living with social anxiety often feels like living in a world filled with invisible barriers—every interaction, no matter how small, can seem overwhelming. Simple activities like speaking up in a meeting, attending a social event, or even making eye contact can trigger a whirlwind of self-doubt, fear of judgment, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or sweating. It’s not just about being shy; it’s a persistent fear that can limit opportunities and strain relationships. I share strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and mindful self-compassion (MSC) to help people gradually confront their anxieties, develop confidence, and rediscover the joy of connection – and life.
