Seen & Heard - Monthly Spouses, Partners, Friends & Family Connection Group

Our FREE online connection groups are a flagship of the service we provide.

Run by experienced group facilitators and modelled on a format that we have experienced personally and found huge benefit from, we hope you enjoy them too.

This is not group therapy, this is just a space to be seen & heard and bring yourself, exactly as you are. Even if you don't want to speak or share, it can be extremely powerful to witness and hear others.

Online via Zoom, see Eventbrite schedule for when they take place.

Typically 4-10 people attend, including at least 1 facilitator

There is a check-in round for everyone that wants to speak. You can share whatever is present for you, it doesn't have to be related to your younger years or school experiences.

The check-in is followed by a first round, where those that would like to share something are able to have some time and space.

The first-round is followed by a second round, for anyone wishing to share further. Often prompted by things others have shared in previous rounds, but not always.

Check-out round for everyone that wants to speak.

What will I get from attending Connection Groups?

"Thank you for today’s Connection Group. I was impressed and reassured by all the preliminaries and explanations, which together combined to create a safe and supportive place" - Sabina, July 2024.

For some, it is just connection they are seeking. For others, the groups can be life changing.Here are some of the benefits experienced by those who attend:

A sense of connection with others

• A feeling of being less alone
• A place to be totally honest about how they are feeling, often for the first time
• The liberation of being able to share even their inner-most thoughts
• A way to discover what they are feeling, as most of the time we don’t even know
• A place to explore our life purpose and direction
• A feeling that they are taking responsibility, a sense of empowerment over their lives
• Friendship, community and support
