Bognor Regis, Bristol, London, West Sussex Social Isolation this often comes with social anxiety as the more we withdraw from everyone the harder it can be to reach out and not be anxious and afraid when we have to go anywhere
This may or may not be linked to previous lockdown for some people. I work in a person centred way to understand the reasons behind it and set achievable goals with my client if this is what they want to do in order to build a support network.

Loneliness is quite difficult and can be mentally damaging - thinking of imprisonment in isolation and brainwashing techniques this can be tortuous for many. Support in relationship is so important for many to experience and we are there to offer that help and support. to offer relationship and a friend in need to the lost and disenfranchised. simply caring.
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.
