Social Isolation
Alison Edwards FMBPsS Psychologist, Supervisor & ADHD Specialist
Psychologist, FMBPsS, MA (Hons), MSc, CertCouns, MSc, CBT/ ACT/ CFT/ SFBT Therapist
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.

Social Isolation
Kevin Martin
Counsellor/Therapist, Psychotherapist Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, BACP, ITTA, EA
Social isolation is the complete or near-complete lack of contact with other people and society. It differs from loneliness—the distress of being alone or lacking connection—whereas social isolation is an objective lack of social relationships, community involvement, and everyday interactions.
Understanding the Difference
Social Isolation: An objective state measured by the size of one's social network and frequency of social contact (e.g., living alone, rarely seeing friends or family, having no regular community groups).
Loneliness: A subjective, emotional state. You can be surrounded by people and still feel profoundly lonely, just as someone who spends a lot of time alone might not feel lonely at all. However, prolonged social isolation frequently leads to severe loneliness.
Common Risk Factors & Triggers
Major Life Transitions: Retirement, job loss, moving to a new city or country, or becoming a full-time caregiver.
Loss & Bereavement: The death of a spouse, family member, or lifelong friends, which can dismantle an established social circle.
Physical Health & Mobility Issues: Chronic illness, disability, chronic pain, or lack of transportation that makes leaving the house difficult.
Mental Health Struggles: Depression, severe social anxiety, or trauma that makes interacting with others feel exhausting or terrifying.
Technological & Environmental Barriers: Living in a remote area or lacking access to digital communication tools that bridge physical distances.
Rebuilding Connection
Stepping out of isolation can feel daunting because isolation itself often drains the energy needed to change it. Healing usually happens in small, manageable steps:
Low-Pressure Engagement: Starting with brief interactions, like chatting with a cashier, greeting a neighbour, or visiting a local library or park.
Shared-Interest Communities: Join clubs, volunteer, take a class, or participate in support groups where connections form naturally around a common activity.
Digital Bridges: Utilising video calls, online communities, or pen-pal programs if physical mobility is a barrier.
Remember: Feeling disconnected is a signal from your mind and body that your social needs aren't being met—it is not a permanent reflection of your worth. Reaching out, even in tiny increments, can help bridge the gap.

Social Isolation
Parents & Beyond / Vered Shomer-Harel
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapist |Counsellor| Parenting Coach M.S.P.C | M.A. Counselling | DIP. Parent Coaching
Feeling disconnected or alone, even when surrounded by people, can be deeply painful. Social isolation often comes with sadness, anxiety, numbness, or feeling “different” or misunderstood. Whether this isolation is due to life transitions, immigration, trauma, or personal circumstances, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I offer a warm, supportive space to explore these feelings, rebuild a sense of connection, and gently strengthen your confidence, community, and emotional wellbeing.
