My 15 year old has no friends

She had a best friend all through primary, went to different secondary schools but settled really well and had a close group of friends.
In y8 they decided they didn’t want her to be part of the group anymore. She floated for the rest of y8 and 9, had friends but not close friends and no one she felt she could hang out with every day. She always felt like she was attaching herself to other groups. Y10 she got closer to a girl she’s been friends with since y7 and they became best friends. Except now that girl doesn’t want to be her friend anymore and says she’s annoying. Last week they were having sleepovers and days out but now she wants nothing to do with her.
She’s already under CAHMS for depression and I’m really worried about her going back to school and having no friends again.

She’s intelligent, funny, really caring and loyal, I can’t believe that no one likes her. I’m not expecting everyone to like her but to have no friends at all? All I can think of is that she maybe gets a bit intense and can be very “woke”. But surely that’s not a reason to completely cut her out.
