Loneliness

Loneliness is the painful gap between the connections you have and the connections you need, and it is more treatable than most people think.

What is Loneliness?

Loneliness is not the same as being alone. You can feel profoundly lonely in a crowd, in a relationship or at work. It is a signal that your social and relational needs are not being met. Therapy can help identify barriers to connection and build meaningful relationships.

Do you recognise this?

✓Feeling misunderstood or invisible
✓Lack of close friendships
✓Social isolation
✓Longing for deeper connection
✓Difficulty trusting others
✓Low self-worth in social settings
