Social anxiety is a condition characterized by excessive fear and self-consciousness in social situations. It can often lead to avoidance of social situations altogether, which further reinforces feelings of isolation and low self-esteem.

Social anxiety is a common condition characterized by intense fear or apprehension in social situations. Individuals with social anxiety may worry excessively about being judged, embarrassed, or humiliated in public or among peers. This can lead to avoidance of social interactions and impact daily functioning and relationships. Symptoms can include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, and difficulty speaking. It's crucial to recognize that social anxiety is a manageable condition, and seeking help is an important step toward overcoming these challenges. Therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, and support from friends and family can play a significant role in building confidence and improving social skills. With the right strategies, individuals can learn to navigate social situations more comfortably and enhance their overall well-being.

Franklynn Bartol
Pre-Licensed Professional, RP (Qualifying), MSc, MA
Social anxiety comes up in diverse ways among my clients. Together we'll explore your unique experience of this and try to get at its roots. I practice Relational Therapy, which understands our social experiences as core to our mental health. This can make social anxiety a particularly painful and isolating experience. The therapeutic relationship is a chance to explore those anxieties as you feel safer and we build trust and understanding together.

Azin Heydari
Registered Psychotherapist, RP; MA
Social anxiety is both a cognitive and a physiological response. I help clients understand what their body is signalling in social situations and develop tools to regulate those reactions. With mindfulness and gradual exposure, social interactions can feel more relaxed and authentic.
