Therapy for Loneliness

Loneliness is not always about being physically alone. You can be surrounded by people and still feel unseen, unknown, or emotionally far away.

Moffat helps clients understand the shape of their loneliness. Sometimes it is linked to grief, shame, social anxiety, rejection, family distance, burnout, or years of not being able to be fully honest.

How this can show up

• Feeling disconnected even in relationships or groups
• Avoiding people because trying feels too painful or tiring
• Believing you are too much, too quiet, too awkward, or not wanted
• Longing for closeness but not knowing how to reach for it
• Using work, screens, food, alcohol, or sleep to numb the emptiness

What counselling with Moffat can focus on

Sessions can help you name what kind of connection you miss and what gets in the way of it. Moffat can support work on self-worth, trust, social fear, grief, and practical steps toward safer relationships.

Starting sessions

Counselling itself can become a place to practise being known honestly, one conversation at a time.
