Strengths coaching to supercharge your social wellbeing
​​​You've probably read the articles and seen the evidence. 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, companies and individuals.
Humans are built for connection. Social wellbeing is crucial to our overall health and happiness.​​
​
Maybe you've experienced loneliness yourself.
​
​​Believe it or not,
that's great news.
​
The ache of loneliness is evidence of our innate social capacity.
As unpleasant as the feeling is, it's a gift of awareness and a call to action.
​
At our best, we're making small choices every day to take care of our social wellbeing. We're each using our unique combination of powerful social strengths to create lives that are deeply purposeful and rich in belonging.​​​
​
When we're not at our best, we have the opportunity to choose - we have an incredible potential for care and connection... will we make the most of it?
​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 Goals 3, 8 and 11.
I'm a qualified 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 or are capable of, and the level of connection we currently have.
This deficit could be due the quality and/or quantity of our social connections.​ Loneliness is a perfect​ly natural human response to this deficit.​​
People have many different ways of experiencing or expressing loneliness. There can be a stigma around loneliness, so we might try to suppress or deny it. Feelings of loneliness might mimic (or accompany) burnout or compulsive behaviours, making them harder to identify.
Once we've acknowledged our feelings, we can begin to manage them.
​
If you're experiencing loneliness, that's not your fault, but it is your responsibility. This is YOUR life.
YOU have the power to effect change, and to claim agency over your social wellbeing.
​
Even the most powerful among us need support, however, and that's where I come in.
