Many individuals who experience difficulties with anxiety can often relate to feeling nervousness, self-consciousness, uncertainty, and dread when in a social situation. People may begin to feel nervous attending interviews, going on a date, speaking with their superiors, or even when engaging in casual conversation. These feelings of anxiety are actually quite common. Almost everyone experiences some form of social anxiety at some point in his or her life (i.e. experiencing ‘butterflies’ before a speech). However, for some of us the anxiety overpowers us and we are unable to function as we'd like.  

Our counselling program for social anxiety is geared to help our clients understand how their environment, behaviours, thoughts, and feelings influence their anxiety. We help our clients create strategies to challenge, improve, and ultimately see success in meeting their goals for therapy. Many of our clients who participate in our social anxiety counselling program are better able to:

• Speak to others without feeling anxious
• Improve the relationships in their life
• Cope with other stressors in their life more effectively
• Expand their social network
• Reacquaint themselves with some type of ‘normalcy’ when speaking to others

Our program will also prepare our clients for formal speaking (speaking in small groups), informal speaking (hosting a party or calling someone), and assertive interaction opportunities (talk to authority figures).

Please feel free to call us or ask for any additional information regarding our program. We are here to help.
