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.

When working with social anxiety, I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.

Manupriya Mehra
Licensed Professional Counsellor, (RTC)(ACCT), C.HypTM -Trauma Specialist, 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.

Kajal Sohal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP-C
Do you replay conversations in your mind, worry about saying the wrong thing, or avoid social situations because you're afraid of being judged or embarrassed? Social anxiety can make everyday experiences—meeting new people, speaking up at work, attending gatherings, or expressing your needs—feel incredibly stressful. You might want meaningful connections but find yourself holding back out of fear of rejection or criticism.
I offer affordable, compassionate counselling to help you navigate social anxiety in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and person-centred approaches, we can explore the thoughts and fears that arise in social situations, develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, and gradually build confidence at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
My approach is also culturally sensitive and neurodivergent-affirming. I recognize that social difficulties can sometimes be influenced by cultural expectations, past experiences, or differences in communication styles. Rather than expecting you to become more outgoing or change your personality, I focus on helping you feel more comfortable expressing yourself authentically.
Together, we can work toward reducing self-consciousness, strengthening communication skills, setting healthy boundaries, and developing greater confidence in relationships and social situations.
You deserve to connect with others without constantly questioning your worth or worrying about what people think. I offer affordable counselling in English and Punjabi and would welcome the opportunity to help you build meaningful connections while feeling more confident being yourself.

Samira Gholami
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Do you find yourself rehearsing conversations before they happen, replaying interactions long afterward, or worrying that others are judging you? Perhaps you avoid gatherings, hesitate to speak up in meetings or classrooms, or struggle to express yourself even when you have something important to say. Social anxiety can leave you feeling isolated, self-conscious, and frustrated, especially when you genuinely want to connect with others but fear being embarrassed, rejected, or misunderstood.
As a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC), I offer compassionate, affordable counselling for adolescents and adults experiencing social anxiety. My background in counselling, educational support, and community mental health has given me an appreciation for how social experiences, relationships, and our sense of belonging can influence emotional well-being.
Drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), person-centred counselling, and trauma-informed principles, I work collaboratively with you to understand the thoughts, emotions, and experiences contributing to your social anxiety. Together, we can explore patterns of self-criticism, develop practical strategies for managing uncomfortable social situations, and gradually build confidence in expressing yourself and connecting with others.
I also recognize that cultural expectations, family dynamics, language differences, and past experiences of criticism or exclusion can influence how comfortable we feel around others. My culturally responsive approach creates space to explore these influences without judgment, while respecting your identity, values, and personal boundaries.
Overcoming social anxiety doesn't mean you need to become outgoing or change your personality. It's about feeling more comfortable being yourself, communicating your needs, and participating in experiences that matter to you without fear holding you back.
I offer affordable counselling in English and Farsi and would welcome the opportunity to help you strengthen your confidence, develop meaningful connections, and navigate social situations with greater ease and self-acceptance.

Hira Imam
Counsellor/Therapist, M.Ed, RP, 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*

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.
