The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effectiveness of supportive psychotherapy in post covid-19 syndrome patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on psychological and somatic symptoms in post covid-19 syndrome patients? 2. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in post covid-19 syndrome patients? 3. What is the effect of supportive psychotherapy on heart rate variability in post covid-19 syndrome patients? Participants will be given supportive psychotherapy in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of psychotherapy ranging from 1 - 2 hours per session. Researchers will compare the supportive psychotherapy group to education group as control. The control group will be given education about Post Covid-19 syndrome in the form of an online group for 3 times a week with a duration of around 1 - 2 hours per session.

Pyschological and somatic symptoms
Measured with SCL-90 questionnaire. Minimum score is 0, maximum score is 360. Higher scores mean worse outcome
Time frame: Change from baseline SCL-90 questionnaire at 1 week
Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR)
Measured by calculating the value of the ratio of neutrophils and lymphocytes based on blood sampling
Time frame: Change from baseline NLR at 1 week
Heart Rate Variability
Measured by assessing SDNN by using Photoplethysmograph SA-3000P
Time frame: Change from baseline SDNN at 1 week
