Francisca Carrasco - Compassionate Healing
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, CCC. M.Psych
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting or intimidating, even when you appear confident on the outside. I work with adults who struggle with fear of judgment, overthinking conversations, or avoiding social situations. Therapy focuses on reducing self-consciousness, strengthening emotional safety, and building confidence in authentic connection.

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.

Candice Seligman
Counsellor/Therapist, MACP, DVATI, CCC
Social anxiety can show up as fear of being judged, worrying about how others perceive you, difficulty speaking up, feeling tense or high anxiety in social settings, wanting to cancel plans or isolate, a fear of judgement, or replaying conversations and interactions in your mind. You may feel pressure to perform, hide parts of yourself, or experience physical symptoms of anxiety when around others. I work somatically, trauma-informed, and with the nervous system, inner child, and energy field in mind to help release the deeper roots of social fear and tension. My focus is compassionate, root-cause healing that supports you in feeling safer, more grounded in your body, and more able to show up as your authentic self with greater ease.

Linda Szeto
Therapist, RCC, CCC
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel exhausting, whether you're worried about being judged, saying the wrong thing, or how others perceive you. You might find yourself overthinking conversations, avoiding situations, or replaying interactions long after they've ended. My approach draws on EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and somatic approaches to explore and process feelings that contribute to social anxiety. Together, we can work toward feeling more comfortable being yourself around others, less caught up in fear of judgment, and freer to engage in the relationships and experiences that matter to you.

Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Social anxiety is one of the most common anxiety disorders. Many people have some discomfort meeting new people, talking in front of a group, making or answering phone calls, and making small talk. Anxiety in social situations starts becoming a problem if it's causing you difficulties in work, school, with your family, keeping or making friends, or is very intense when you're in these situations. Using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, we will learn to accurately assess the fears you have in these situations, and learn skills to manage your anxiety when it does not match the threat of the situation. We will also work on interpersonal skills training to help with more accurate communicating if this is something you struggles with, as well as setting and maintaining boundaries and limits.

Tanya Master | Online Somatic & Psychosomatic Consulting
Life Coach, Psychosomatic Consultant · Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in Training
Social anxiety isn’t simply shyness. It often reflects deeper experiences involving safety, belonging, self-expression, and the nervous system’s response to relationships and social environments.

Dena Marie Counselling & EMDR Therapy
Counsellor/Therapist, MEd, RCC
Replaying conversations in your head, dreading small talk, avoiding social situations out of fear of being judged — social anxiety can make even everyday interactions feel exhausting. Using EMDR, I help you gently process the past experiences and beliefs contributing to that fear or discomfort, so the anxious response starts to ease rather than just being pushed through. Over time, this helps you engage more confidently, feel grounded in interactions, and build the meaningful connections you're looking for.
