Psychological help for loneliness

Loneliness can exist in a crowd and in a couple. It is not always a lack of people — often a lack of feeling that someone holds you.

What is it?
Loneliness is the pain of broken contact: with others, with the world, or with yourself. It can be situational or chronic.

Signs

  • Emptiness in the evenings
  • Feeling extra, not needed
  • Shame about asking to meet
  • Phone dependence
  • Tiredness from shallow talk

Causes

  • Moving and emigration
  • Loss of a relationship
  • Protective distance from childhood
  • Shame about being “too much”
  • Burnout of social resource

How therapy can help

Therapy itself is an experience of contact: you are heard without scoring. From there it is easier to build live ties outside, not only acquaintances.

Therapy methods

  • Gestalt contact and presence
  • Work with shame
  • Restoring the wish to be with people
  • Self-support in aloneness without self-attack

Consultation format

Online, 60 minutes. Suitable if you are in another country or do not yet have a support circle nearby.

Pricing

Individual session — 60 minutes / 1900 UAH. Couples session — 80 minutes / 3300 UAH. Online.

Frequently asked questions

Are loneliness and being alone the same?

No. Aloneness can be resourcing. Loneliness is the pain of missing meaningful contact.

Why is it so empty after a move?

Familiar faces, language, and role disappeared. That is grief for a lost environment, not proof that something is wrong with you.

I am in a relationship and still lonely.

That happens when there is no emotional meeting. Then we work not only on finding people, but on the quality of contact.

Will I make the therapist my only friend?

We watch for that. Therapy is a place you leave toward live life, not a substitute for every relationship.
