Psychologist, Registered Psychologist, BSc, MA
Social anxiety is used to describe feelings of anxiety and fear that occur in response to social situations. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), is commonly used to treat social anxiety disorder. CBT teaches you different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to situations to help you feel less anxious and fearful.

Social Anxiety
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Social anxiety can make everyday interactions feel like a minefield. Overthinking every word, dreading being judged, exhausted before you've even walked in the room. If connection feels more draining than fulfilling because of this, let's work together to help you feel more at ease with others.
The first step in working with social anxiety is understanding that there is nothing wrong with you. Your mind has simply learned to treat connection as a threat, and that can be unlearned. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore where this anxiety comes from and build confidence and tools for showing up as yourself in social situations. My approach centres self-compassion, gradual exposure, and practical strategies that fit your life.
You don't have to face this alone. Let's take the first step toward feeling more comfortable in your own skin, with others.
