Social Isolation
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.

Dr Ian Anderson
Psychologist, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HCPC registered), PhD, MSc, MSc, MSc, MA (Econ), BA (Econ) Hons
Human beings are eminently social animals. In order to survive we need oxygen, we need water and nutrition, and we need social interaction. Sometimes social isolation occurs as a result of circumstances and sometimes as a result of psychological difficulties such as social anxiety. Whatever the reasons for social isolation, it does not have to be endured; competent psychological counselling can help in reintegrating an individual with the world around him or her.

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.
