Dr Grenville Major
Therapist, MBchB, MRCpsych, MSc psychological therapies
Not everyone needs the company of others but they are a minority. For most of us, the most rewarding experiences we have are the company and experience of others. Overcoming isolation is about finding and re evaluating the reasons we avoid others. I would like to meet with you to see what can be done to help you. This will enable us to get to know each other and see if we can work together. It’s important for you to work with someone you trust and feel safe with.

Dr Aneliya Gonsard
Psychologist, DClinPscy, MSc, BA
Social isolation can be the aftermath of multiple factors. Some peole struggle with being around others and in their attemt to avoid painful emotions and experiences, choose to keep contacts to a minimum. The reasons for interpersonal difficulties and the resulting avoidance of relationships can also be multifaceted, but in my experience almost aways link back to adveristies at various stages of a person's life (including their very early life).
Poverty, physical illness and disability and social exclusion are also often reasons for people to find themselves alone and isolated.
If you feel that this is an issue you are struggling with and would like to explore the reasons for it, please get in touch.

I have worked with a lot of clients who became very socially isolated during the Covid pandemic, and who have struggled to get back to socialising again after lockdowns. Many clients have had problems with social anxiety/ social phobia or depression before Covid, and some clients have new anxieties, fears and phobias due to the pandemic, lockdown and family challenges. I provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which is the recommended psychological therapy for social anxiety/ social phobia and depression. I can also provide CBT for traumas and PTSD.

I hear the depth of your feelings about social isolation. It's ironic how social media can sometimes exacerbate this sense of loneliness, even when you're connected to others online all day. The lack of meaningful, in-person interactions can leave you feeling disconnected and alone.
There are many reasons why you might be experiencing this isolation:
Children Moving Away: The empty nest syndrome can be a significant adjustment, leaving you feeling lonely and disconnected from family life.
Language Barriers: Not speaking the dominant language in your community can make everyday interactions challenging and isolating.
Feeling Different: Whether it's cultural differences, lifestyle choices, or personal identity, feeling like you don't fit in can be incredibly isolating.
Community Acceptance: Not feeling accepted by your local community can make you feel like an outsider, even in your own home.
It's important to remember that these feelings are valid and common. Talking about them can be a powerful step towards healing and connection. I'm here to offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express your feelings freely.
Together, we can explore ways to address your isolation:
Identify Support Networks: Find or create groups that align with your interests and values.
Language Support: Explore language classes or conversation groups to improve communication.
Community Engagement: Discover local activities or events where you can meet like-minded people.
Embracing Your Uniqueness: Celebrate what makes you different and find strength in your individuality.
Remember, you're not alone in feeling this way. Many people struggle with similar challenges. Contact me today, and let's start a conversation that can help you feel more connected and understood.

How Therapy Can Help with Social Isolation -
Feeling disconnected from others is one of the most painful human experiences. Whether you've gradually drifted away from friends, struggled to make connections in the first place, or found yourself intentionally withdrawing from social situations, social isolation can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health. The good news is that therapy can help you understand what's keeping you isolated and gently guide you back toward meaningful connection.
What Social Isolation Looks Like
Social isolation isn't just about being alone—it's about feeling lonely, disconnected, or unable to form or maintain meaningful relationships. It might show up as:
Having few or no close relationships
Declining invitations or avoiding social situations
Feeling lonely even when you're around people
Difficulty reaching out or initiating contact with others
Feeling like you don't belong anywhere
Spending most of your time alone (not by choice)
Losing touch with friends and family
Feeling anxious or awkward in social situations
Believing nobody would understand you or want to know you
Over time, isolation can lead to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and even physical health problems. It can also create a vicious cycle—the more isolated you become, the harder it feels to reach out.
How Therapy Helps
Understanding the Root Causes
Therapy helps you explore what's driving your isolation. Sometimes it's social anxiety or fear of rejection. Other times it's past trauma, depression, low self-worth, neurodivergence (like autism or ADHD), grief, major life transitions, or simply not knowing how to connect with others. Understanding why you've become isolated is the first step toward change.
Building Social Skills and Confidence
If you struggle with social interactions—whether due to anxiety, lack of practice, or never having learned certain skills—therapy provides a safe place to develop them. Your therapist can help you:
Practice conversation skills
Learn to read social cues
Develop assertiveness and boundary-setting
Work through social anxiety
Build confidence in your ability to connect
The therapeutic relationship itself becomes a practice ground for connection.
Challenging Negative Beliefs
Social isolation often comes with harsh internal narratives: "Nobody likes me," "I'm too boring," "People would reject me if they really knew me," or "I'm better off alone." Therapy helps you examine these beliefs, understand where they came from, and develop more balanced, compassionate perspectives about yourself and your worthiness of connection.
Processing Past Rejection or Trauma
If you've experienced bullying, rejection, abandonment, betrayal, or relational trauma, these experiences can make connection feel dangerous. Therapies like EMDR can help process these painful memories so they have less power over your present-day relationships. You can learn that past hurt doesn't have to dictate your future connections.
Breaking the Avoidance Cycle
Isolation often involves avoidance—you want connection but fear the vulnerability, rejection, or awkwardness that comes with it, so you stay home. Your therapist can help you gradually face these fears through gentle exposure, starting small and building up your tolerance for social situations at your own pace.
Addressing Depression and Anxiety
Social isolation and mental health issues often go hand in hand. Depression can sap your motivation to connect, while anxiety can make social situations feel terrifying. Treating these underlying conditions through therapy makes it easier to take steps toward connection.
Creating a Roadmap for Connection
Your therapist can help you identify realistic, manageable steps toward building connections—whether that's joining a club, reaching out to an old friend, attending a community event, or engaging in online communities. They'll help you set goals that feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
Exploring What Connection Means to You
Not everyone needs or wants the same level of social interaction. Therapy helps you clarify what meaningful connection looks like for you—whether that's a few deep friendships, a broader social circle, reconnecting with family, or finding community around shared interests. It's about quality over quantity.
Working Through Shame
Many people feel ashamed about being isolated, which only makes it harder to reach out. Therapy provides a judgment-free space where you can be honest about your loneliness without shame. This acceptance from your therapist can help you develop self-compassion, which makes connection with others feel more possible.
Recognizing When Isolation Is a Symptom
Sometimes isolation isn't the primary issue—it's a symptom of something else like trauma, grief, chronic illness, major life changes (moving, divorce, retirement), or neurodivergence. Therapy helps address these underlying issues, which naturally reduces isolation.
