Social Isolation
Counsellor/Therapist, Author, Registered Counselling Therapist, Registered Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist, & Addictions Counsellor
Do you tend to isolate yourself due to anxiety or fear? Perhaps you are struggling with a lack of self esteem or lack of confidence or affected by a traumatic event? Isolating ourselves can be a way to cope with the emotions that become overwhelming at times but it’s not helping us deal with these feelings or resolve the trauma. I can help you address the reasons you are isolating yourself and heal the anxiety or painful emotions you are hiding from. My therapeutic approach includes counselling, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and clinical hypnosis to give you the most effective treatment plan available. Contact me today to take the first step towards healing and experiencing life again.

Social Isolation
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
A felt sense of belonging and of feeling connected to others is a key component of overall psycho-emotional well-being and health. We will work together to understand areas of loneliness, difficulties being alone with oneself (while still feeling connected to others) and factors that contribute to a sense of feeling disconnected from individual and community relationships and supports.

Social Isolation
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Since we are by nature social beings, isolation from society can create feelings of loss, helplessness, and loneliness. Reasons for social isolation vary from person to person. In working together, we will explore what factors have lead to social isolation and how your current lifestyle may prevent you from creating a rich and fulfilling life. A fundamental part of therapy is also exploring the factors that maintain the social isolation. The therapy models that I apply largely depend on the unique history and relationship that the client has with social isolation. If social isolation occurs due to avoiding anxiety, I would primarily work with the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) model and with the Emotion Focused Therapy model (EFT) in order to change your relationship to the uncomfortable feelings maintaining the isolation. If isolation occurs due to debilitating thoughts that create feelings of hopelessness and insecurity I would work with the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) model in order to help you challenge thoughts that prevent you from living the life that you want. If you are somebody who isolates socially I would be happy to work with you and devise a treatment plan that aligns with your unique needs.
