Empty Nest Syndrome: Understanding the Loneliness, and How CBT Helps

Specialist CBT therapy for anxiety, OCD, depression and more in West London

Empty nest syndrome describes the grief, loneliness, and identity disruption some parents experience when children leave home. It is not a clinical diagnosis, but it can trigger or worsen genuine depression and anxiety if the adjustment does not resolve on its own. CBT at The Lyceum Clinic in West London addresses the identity and purpose questions underneath the loneliness directly. BABCP-accredited therapist Sanah Younis works with clients in Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, and online. No GP referral required. A free 15-minute consultation is available.
