Social Isolation
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.

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.

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.

Social Isolation
Mairead Cleary
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters in Gestalt Therapy
The cure for isolation is connection, but connection can be the thing we fear most when we're isolated. And the more we isolate the harder it can be to connect with people and the more self-conscious we can feel. Remaining isolated can stop us from meeting one of our most fundamental needs - the need to belong, to feel a part of life.
Anyone can become isolated. Understanding what’s behind the isolation is the first step to unravelling it. We explore both isolation and connection and the part that both play in your life.

Social Isolation
Brett Hall - Therapy for Deep Change
Registered Psychotherapist, Bsc - PSYCH/Neuro, Grad. Dip Gestalt Therapy
Social isolation can become its own kind of trap. The longer you're disconnected, the harder reaching out can feel, even when part of you is craving connection. If loneliness has become familiar in a way you'd like to change, let's work together to help you rebuild connection.
The first step in working through isolation is understanding that wanting connection isn't a weakness, and rebuilding it doesn't have to happen all at once. In a supportive, non-judgmental space, we'll explore what's been keeping you disconnected and take gentle, manageable steps back toward relationship and community. My approach centers self-compassion, patience, and meeting you exactly where you are.
You don't have to stay isolated. Let's take the first step toward feeling more connected again.
