Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Since we are by nature social beings, isolation from society can create feelings of loss, helplessness, and loneliness. Reasons for social isolation vary from person to person. In working together, we will explore what factors have lead to social isolation and how your current lifestyle may prevent you from creating a rich and fulfilling life. A fundamental part of therapy is also exploring the factors that maintain the social isolation. The therapy models that I apply largely depend on the unique history and relationship that the client has with social isolation. If social isolation occurs due to avoiding anxiety, I would primarily work with the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model and with the Emotion Focused Therapy model (EFT) in order to change your relationship to the uncomfortable feelings maintaining the isolation. If isolation occurs due to debilitating thoughts that create feelings of hopelessness and insecurity I would work with the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model in order to help you challenge thoughts that prevent you from living the life that you want. If you are somebody who isolates socially I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs.
When working with social isolation I like to start with some mindfulness around the issue to gain a deeper understanding of the experience, from here there are many options, and I rely of the client's wisdom to guide me.
All of our services are virtual, meaning that you can connect with your counsellor via Zoom or over the phone. This can help bridge the gap when connecting in person feels overwhelming, or if you have limited opportunities for connection where you are. We can help you to build your social confidence and connect with others 1-on-1 and through the groups, workshops, and events that we run throughout the year.

Address social isolation with a coach well-versed in its psychological and societal impacts. With expertise ranging from social capital theory to cognitive-behavioral strategies, I offer practical guidance tailored to combat isolation's root causes and foster genuine connections. Let's work together to navigate this complex challenge, transforming it into opportunities for personal growth and community engagement.
I support clients coping with social isolation, fostering connectedness, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills to help them build meaningful relationships and thrive in social settings.
In my practice, I extend a compassionate and understanding hand to those experiencing social isolation, creating a space where they can feel seen and heard. Through the integration of holistic strategies like Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing, I support clients in understanding the roots of their isolation and developing strategies to reconnect with the world around them. This tailored approach not only addresses the immediate feelings of loneliness but also empowers individuals to build meaningful relationships and enhance their social networks. Focusing on personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional resilience, we work together to overcome the barriers to social engagement, paving the way for a more connected and fulfilling life. My role is to guide you through this journey, providing the tools and support needed to break free from the cycle of social isolation and embrace a life rich with community and connection.
By finding root cause of your social isolation, we can change from the deep subconscious roots and clear your negative beliefs, and help you become more connected with others, rid of the pattern of social isolation, attract, maintain, and keep more positive relationships, and become a lot happier alone or with others.
