Coaching to supercharge your social wellbeing
Loneliness can impact our careers and relationships, as well as our mental, physical and emotional health. It can have steep social and economic costs for communities, organisations and individuals.
Humans are built for connection, and social wellbeing is crucial to our overall health and happiness.
Believe it or not, if you've
experienced loneliness,
that's great news.
The ache of loneliness is evidence of our great social capacity.
As unpleasant as the feeling is, it's a gift of awareness and a call to action.
At our social best, we're making small choices every day to take care of our social wellbeing. We're each using our unique combination of social strengths to create lives that are deeply purposeful and rich in belonging.
When we're not connecting at our best, we have the opportunity to choose what we do with our incredible potential for care, connection and collaboration.
Are you ready to make the most of your potential for connection?
Let me guide and support you as you:
* 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 to nurture real-life relationships over parasocial ones.
* Navigate the modern dating scene or create a vibrant single life.
* Enhance your communication and consent skills for better intimacy.
* Use your unique strengths to live and connect more intentionally.
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 Goal 3, as loneliness is widely recognised as a public health risk. My work can also serve Goals 5, 8 and 11.
I'm a qualified humanistic strengths coach. I work with people who want to overcome loneliness or improve their overall 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 level of connection we currently have.
Loneliness is a perfectly natural emotional response. What matters is what you do next.
People have many different ways of experiencing or expressing loneliness or low social wellbeing. There can be a stigma around these feelings, so we might be tempted to suppress or deny them. Feelings of loneliness might mimic burnout or compulsive behaviours, making them hard to identify.
Loneliness often occurs during times of immense change in our lives, whether internal or external. We might experience loneliness when we change jobs, start university, or retire. We might be processing grief or heartbreak. We could be navigating parenthood or midlife. We may be feeling hope for the first time in a long time, and wondering what to do with it. We could be growing and evolving as a person, while a seemingly hyper-connected world moves quickly around us.
YOU have the power to claim agency over your social wellbeing and to effect change in your own life. Yet, as powerful as we each are, we all need support sometimes.
