Feeling Anxious in Social Situations? Find Relief and Connection Online.
At The Woods Counselling, we understand the challenges of social anxiety. Feeling overwhelmed, self-conscious, or afraid of judgment in social settings can significantly impact your life. Our therapists specialize in helping individuals overcome social anxiety and build confidence in social interactions.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Do you experience intense anxiety in social situations, like parties, work events, or public speaking?
Do worries about what others think prevent you from connecting with others?
Do you avoid social situations altogether due to fear of embarrassment or criticism?
We Can Help:
Understanding Social Anxiety: We'll explore the root causes of your social anxiety and provide information about how it works.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT is a powerful tool for social anxiety. We'll help you identify negative thought patterns and develop coping mechanisms to challenge them.
Exposure Therapy (gradually facing feared situations): In a safe and controlled online environment, we can help you gradually expose yourself to social situations that trigger your anxiety, building confidence and reducing fear.
Social Skills Training: We can teach you practical skills for navigating social situations, including communication skills, assertiveness training, and relaxation techniques.
Building Confidence and Self-Compassion: Our goal is to empower you to connect with others authentically and build a healthy sense of self-worth, regardless of social situations.

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.

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.

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.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Social anxiety turns ordinary moments into performances: rehearsing sentences before you say them, replaying conversations for days, feeling watched and judged even among friends. The loneliness of wanting connection while fearing it is real, and it's more common than you know. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space to understand your anxiety without shame, quiet the inner critic that narrates every interaction, and gradually build confidence in being seen. The goal isn't to become someone else, it's to genuinely understand yourself, loosen fear's grip on your relationships, and let people meet the real you. Together we'll work toward feeling more at ease, more connected, and more equipped to show up in your life and relationships.

I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space to work through social anxiety—those moments of fear, avoidance, or self-consciousness that limit connection.

I’ll support you with steady guidance and actionable strategies so you can engage more comfortably and authentically.

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.

Romana Hrivnakova
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, RCC
Social anxiety is often a protective strategy—a part of your system that is working overtime to shield you from the perceived threat of judgment or rejection. Drawing on over 15 years of clinical experience, I help you move beyond 'just trying to be more social' to understanding the root of the anxiety that makes being seen feel dangerous.
Using a Parts Work lens, we explore the survival strategies—like perfectionism, withdrawal, or constant self-monitoring—that your system developed to keep you safe in social settings. Together, we work to heal the underlying vulnerabilities these parts are protecting, helping you move toward a grounded sense of self-assurance and the freedom to connect with others authentically and with ease.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, DCP(c), RCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming, even when you deeply want connection. I support adults who struggle with overthinking conversations, fear of being judged, masking, rejection sensitivity, avoidance, or feeling “different” in social settings. As a neurodivergent therapist, I understand how social anxiety can overlap with ADHD, autism, burnout, and past experiences of not feeling accepted. Together, we can work toward building confidence, self-understanding, and more authentic connection at a pace that feels safe.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
Social anxiety isn't shyness. It's the relentless monitoring, the replaying of conversations, the exhausting effort of managing how you come across while also trying to actually be present. It can make connection feel like a test you keep failing. I work with people to understand where that hypervigilance came from and gradually build a sense of safety that doesn't depend on getting everything exactly right.
