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
We can create social isolation for ourselves for so many reasons. For example, if we have not had the experience of asking for help and getting it, we can lead ourselves to assume nobody will help, nobody will understand, and therefore we pull back to the safety of isolation where we believe we cannot be hurt. But this does hurt us. Whether we like it or not, us humans need other humans. Counselling can help you understand why you didn't get help previously when needed, or why others did not understand what you were asking for or needing. You can start to understand that not everyone can offer the same level of support and that it is ok to keep asking. You don't have to suffer and struggle alone. Reach out.

Social isolation can come as a result of loss of lives or connections. It is important to understand why this is happening and we will work together to find ways to reengage that could bring you more joy and satisfaction in your life.
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.
