Strengths coaching to supercharge your social wellbeing.
Feeling lonely or disconnected?
​It's as natural to feel lonely occasionally as it is to feel thirsty, or cold, but profound or prolonged loneliness can negatively impact our careers and relationships, as well as our mental, physical and emotional health.
That's concerning, but here's one very comforting truth:
​​
Connection is in our DNA.​​​
Humans are built for connection.
In fact, it's our incredible social capacity that makes us capable of feeling lonely.
​
Thankfully, we are capable in other ways, too.
​
Each of us has a unique combination of powerful social strengths.
Leaning in to those strengths can help us create lives that are deeply purposeful and rich in belonging.​​​
​Let me guide and support you to:​
* Learn to savour both company and solitude.
* Dismantle a shame or blame-based mindset.
* Build a pro-social home, workplace or community.
* Manage feelings associated with loss or loneliness.
* Choose healthy real-life relationships over parasocial ones.
* Navigate the modern dating scene and create a vibrant single life.
* Enhance your communication and/or consent skills for better intimacy.
* Use your unique strengths to live each day with purpose and intentionality.
While my work focuses primarily on individuals, I can also consult with organisations to provide thought partnership or facilitate workshops and training around social wellbeing.
This work aligns most closely with Sustainable Development Goals 3, 8 and 11.
I'm a humanistic strengths coach. I work with people who want to overcome loneliness or isolation and improve their social wellbeing.
​Who might experience loneliness?
Almost anyone.
Loneliness is a subjective, negative feeling that occurs when there's a deficit between the level of connection we need and the connection we currently have.
This deficit could be due the quality and/or quantity of our social connections.
​
Although it's often stigmatised, loneliness is a perfect​ly normal human emotion — one that can affect us at different times across our lifespan. ​​
Whether you're a young professional or recently retired, single or married, a creative, performer, carer or leader... loneliness can affect almost anyone.
Humans have various ways of experiencing or expressing loneliness. Because there can be a stigma around loneliness, we might try to suppress or deny it. Loneliness might mimic (or accompany) burnout or compulsive behaviours, making it hard to identify.
Once we've identified and acknowledged these feelings, we can begin to address them. Then, by leaning into our unique social strengths, we can start to build healthier relationships and better social wellbeing.
