Social Isolation
Sebastian Kitchen
Registered Psychotherapist, PACFA Registered Member 32932
Social isolation is often, but not always, linked to social anxiety.
It can be difficult to admit to social anxiety, but it is surprisingly common. Lack of safety in being one's 'true self', or feeling safe to express ones inner world, especially in one's early life, can be contributive to an underlying anxiety in social settings. Many of us navigate life with various measures in place to cope with social anxiety, such as 'masking' or substance use which may serve to alleviate temporary anxiety but reinforces the cycle, rather than address the root cause of the anxiety in the first place. Like any other challenge, i will work with you as an integrative psychotherapist to understand these root causes of the patterns shaping your experience of social life, so that you can transform them on a deep emotional level, opening yourself up to a new way of being in the world.

Dimitri Hawa
Psychologist, Psychologist-BA, BPsycSc (Hons), GradDipProfPsych
Therapy will provide guidance and psychological support to clients grappling with the challenges of social isolation. This support takes place within a nurturing and understanding environment, enabling individuals to navigate the intricate dimensions of their isolation. By employing evidence-based approaches (schema therapy methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic approaches, attachment approaches), fostering a healthy safe therapeutic alliance and tailoring interventions to each client’s unique needs, clients are assisted to ‘break free’ from the cycle of isolation, by rebuilding sense of connection to self, rebuild social connections and foster meaningful relationships, ultimately paving the way for a more fulfilling and connected life.
Call for a free consultation. Medicare rebated sessions (obtained from a GP called mental health care plan) and private health insurance rebates session available.
Dimitri's experience extends to conducting psychological assessments and offering counselling support to Victims of Crime through (VOCAT), clients associated with the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Workcover clients, and those covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and has previously provided psychological support within prison settings.

Bendigo is Victoria's fourth-largest city, an inland regional centre with a celebrated gold rush heritage, outstanding cultural institutions including the Bendigo Art Gallery (one of Australia's finest regional galleries), and a contemporary economy built on healthcare, education, and manufacturing. Bendigo Health provides public mental health services to the region, and La Trobe University's Bendigo campus contributes trained mental health professionals and a student population to the local landscape. The surrounding Loddon Mallee region includes significant rural and farming communities, and Bendigo functions as a major referral point for mental health services across a large agricultural hinterland where access is a persistent challenge. Common therapy concerns include rural and farming community stress, student mental health, regional isolation, anxiety, depression, and the identity challenges of a regional city competing with Melbourne's pull for young professionals and families.
