Overcoming Loneliness: Coaching for Women

1:1 and Group Coaching for When Life Feels Lonely

Overcome loneliness and make life and work better

Many women experience loneliness and disconnection at work and in their social circles.

Pressure to fit in and the struggle to be ‘good enough’ can lead you to create inauthentic versions of yourself just to be accepted. Hiding your true self makes it harder to form genuine connection with others.

Women also compromise their values, beliefs and needs to fit in. This can leave you feeling:

misunderstood and disconnected
alone in a crowd
you have no one to turn to
afraid to be yourself around others
self-critical and low in confidence.

To overcome loneliness, you need to improve your relationships with yourself so that you can connect better with others. With loneliness coaching for women, I help you:

overcome stigma around loneliness
reconnect with who you truly are
tame your inner critic
stay true to your values, beliefs and needs
boost your self-worth and self-confidence
learn skills to create meaningful connection

Three stages to overcoming loneliness

Your relationship with yourself

This is the foundation for your other relationships. Seeing yourself in a positive light, being true to your core beliefs and values and acting in accordance with them helps you create meaningful connections without losing sight of your true self.

Your emotional regulation

Your relationship with yourself

Your emotional regulation directly impacts your relationships. When you can identify and manage your emotions, you're better equipped to express your needs, set boundaries and build productive connections.

Your relationship with others

Your relationship with yourself

Your relationship with others

The quality and quantity of your relationships matter. By assessing the meaningfulness of your current connections, you can identify gaps, nurture existing relationships and create new ones.

Positive Psychology and evidence-based help for loneliness

Social connection is having meaningful relationships in your personal and working life.

Research shows that strong social connection is the single most important factor for a long, healthy and happy life (Vaillant, 2002). Despite this, social connection is often absent from conversations about wellbeing. This makes it harder to understand and overcome loneliness.

coaching testimonials

Components of good relationship

I am grateful for this opportunity to have joined this group. It gave me a deeper insight and understanding of what authenticity really means and what the components of good relationships are. How to have good relationships, maintain and stop them when they are no longer aligned with our needs and authentic self.

Group Coaching Programme

Components of good relationship

The group coaching programme was so valuable on many levels, and Esther was a really supportive, calming practitioner, she fostered an inclusive, respectful talking space. I learnt so much about authenticity, the different kinds of support needed in relationships, and how to identify my emotions and handle them with care, and how all of that feeds into our feelings of connection and belonging. I would definitely recommend this programme!

Knowledge and tools to support my growth

Prior to working with Esther, I struggled with the perception others had of me, and lack of confidence in my decision making. After working through coaching sessions with Esther over a period of 6-12 months, I have gained insight and clarity on this in order to reflect and gain confidence to make decisions with certainty based on my own judgement and wants, without the need to appease others. Esther is a tentative listener, gently encouraging reflection, and challenged me in a safe environment, ultimately providing me with the knowledge and tools to support my growth, and I now feel more empowered as an individual, which is an invaluable feeling.

corporate training testimonials

Practical, accessible, enlightening

Esther has delivered two sessions so far for us on mental health and wellbeing. The most recent session focussed on managing stress, covering the things that stress you and others, plus helpful and unhelpful ways of coping with stress. It was practical, accessible, enlightening and all the all the better for being delivered from a place of lived experience. We received excellent feedback from our deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent trainees and will be using Esther again.

Renewed Confidence

Practical, accessible, enlightening

Esther’s delivery of a Mental Health First Aid Refresher course was both friendly and professional. She was very welcoming and ensured we all knew what the expectations were of us, from the beginning. Esther is clearly passionate about mental health and wellbeing and really knew her stuff! She has a very down-to-earth and calming manner about her and she ensured we all had the chance to interact and ask questions throughout the course. I really valued the group discussions we had and the opportunities to share experiences and receive sound advice from an expert in the field, like Esther. I came away from the course with renewed confidence and am really pleased I chose Esther to deliver the refresher course - thank you!

Fully engaged...absolutely recommend

I just completed my MHFA Refresher course with Esther and I'm so glad I did it. Esther is a great instructor; she's knowledgeable and inclusive, giving everyone the space to think and also the opportunity to talk. I thoroughly enjoyed it and took a lot away from it which I'll use in the future. Thank you again.

Fully engaged...absolutely recommend

Esther delivered a course with a difficult subject matter in a sensitive and engaging way. I am used to normally tuning out somewhat during training courses (especially remote) I attend for work but in this instance, I was fully engaged the whole time. Would absolutely recommend her as a trainer.
