Having focused my doctoral research on the phenomenon of loneliness, I am familiar with the many ways in which it can affect a person's well-being, both emotionally and physically.  Loneliness is an extremely prevalent issue across the lifespan, and yet it can be a really difficult experience to talk about.  

​

Sometimes people feel lonely because they don't have the relationships they want with others, sometimes they feel lonely despite having the relationships they want, and other times loneliness reflects a sense of being different or perhaps lost in the world.  

​

The therapeutic relationship can be a powerful tool in enabling you to better understand your experience of loneliness and explore ways of helping you feel a greater sense of connection in your life.
