I work with groups in an 8-week program I’ve designed for participants to reflect on and explore their relationship to 7 areas of life that are essential for experiencing overall well-being.

It is crucial for participants in a group environment to feel safe to learn and integrate skills for self-reflection, self-regulation, self-expression, autonomy and agency. Together we create an experience that provides the necessary support for social and emotional connection, creative expression and integrating skills to discern and make fulfilling life choices.

Each session runs for 110 minutes. Participants work with materials to reflect on the following elements that influence on their daily experiences, thoughts and behaviours.

The 7 realms are: connection to other people, connection to status and respect, connection to work or contributing that feels relevant and meaningful, connection to meaningful values, connection to the natural world, connection to a hopeful and secure future, self-care (ways to nourish and nurture your well-being)

The first 6 of these elements are from Johann Hari’s book, Lost Connections. I read this book when I was struggling with depression in 2019. From reading Johann’s book, I recognised that multiple areas of my life were an absolute dumpster fire & if I attended to these, my mental health and my life would improve. So I did, (over some time) and I can 100% vouch for the efficacy of this work in alleviating feelings of depression and symptoms of feeling like aspects of your life resemble a dumpster fire! (I have Johann’s written permission to use his work in this program.)

If you have any questions about the program or working as a group, contact me and we can have a chat.
