Social Anxiety
Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
People experience anxiety in different ways and for those with social anxiety the world can feel very uncomfortable or overwhelming at times. This can cause one to isolate and withdraw from others in an effort to avoid discomfort or distress. This in turn prevents us from learning how to navigate social situations and learn to make them feel more manageable. When working with a client with social anxiety I recognize that it can be challenging just to be interacting with a new person. As anxiety often comes from feeling a lack of control, it is a priority for me to promote an environment where my client feels safe and in control. We will explore the history of their anxiety, what makes it worse as well as triggers. We will then use CBT to challenge negative or limiting thoughts and reframe them as more empowering and reassuring thoughts. We will also develop grounding and coping strategies they can use when feeling anxious. If this sounds helpful to you, please book a free consultation where I can answer questions or address concerns.

Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Social anxiety occurs for many different reasons and can have a massive impact on one's well-being. It can be so incredibly frustrating to feel so averse or worried about something that you feel or know you should not be anxious about! When working with clients who have social anxiety issues, I take a comprehensive approach in understanding why the social anxiety occurs so that we can solve the issue from the root up; Being anxious is not a state one needs to be in, and it does NOT have to control one's life or decisions.

Kai DeMaeyer - Talk with Kai - Intimacy and Identity
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP (Qualifying)
Social anxiety isn't shyness, and it isn't something you can think your way out of by reminding yourself people aren't watching that closely. It lives in the body, in anticipation, in the replay afterward. I work with clients on the whole cycle of it, not just the moments of avoidance, but the exhaustion of managing it constantly and what it's cost them over time.

Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel overwhelming or exhausting. You may worry about being judged, embarrassed, or saying the “wrong” thing, which can lead to avoidance, self-doubt, or a constant sense of tension in social situations. These patterns can impact work, relationships, and daily life, making you feel stuck or isolated.
In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore these experiences, understand the thoughts and feelings behind your anxiety, and develop practical strategies to manage discomfort. Together, we work toward building confidence, ease, and a greater sense of connection in social situations.
