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.

Yuka Oshimi
Counsellor/Therapist, MC, RCC, RCC-ACS (c), DCP(c), ADHD-CCSP
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.

This approach helps reduce the intensity of anxious feelings, allowing you to engage more confidently, feel grounded in interactions, and build meaningful connections with others.

Vanessa Fingland
Counsellor/Therapist, CCPCPR.cand, RPC-C
Social anxiety can leave you overthinking every interaction, worrying about being judged, and replaying conversations long after they've ended. You may find yourself thinking, "What if I say something embarrassing?" or "Can they tell I'm anxious?" Together, we'll explore the root causes of your social anxiety, build confidence and self esteem, and develop practical strategies to help you feel calmer, more authentic, and comfortable in social situations.

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.

Nadia Zamzul
Registered Psychotherapist, R.P., LL.M
I help clients who feel anxious, self-conscious, or overwhelmed in social situations understand where those fears come from and how they’ve been reinforced over time. Together, we work on reducing the fear of judgment, quieting the inner critic, and building confidence in your ability to connect with others authentically. My approach helps you feel more grounded, more comfortable being seen, and less controlled by anxiety in your relationships, work, and everyday life.
