Creating and facilitating dynamic group spaces, community events, and structured workshops focused on men's mental health and promoting real conversations
LETS STOP MAKING GROWTH AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT SO ISOLATING AND DISCONNECTED
At Circle It Counseling, I don't just work one-on-one. I have a proven track record of organizing community events, leading local volunteer initiatives, and running structured workshops around men's mental health, reflection, communication and goal-setting.
WHY GROUP SPACES MATTER
We are more connected (digitally) than ever before, yet in reality, more isolated than ever. We carry hundreds of contacts in our pockets, but we rarely experience spaces that aren't digitally interfered with. How often do you actually get to have a genuine, unvarnished conversation without a phone in sight? Group spaces are critical because isolation is one of the biggest threats to our mental health. Getting out from behind a screen and sitting in a room, face-to-face, in spaces designed to connect, grow and reflect is the fastest way to break that isolation. It reminds you that you aren't doing this alone.
I took the forward momentum of coaching and the structure of professional facilitation, and grounded them engaging and practical modes, and built three specific group spaces. I leave the clinical scripts and the therapy clichés at the door. Instead, we focus on honest conversation, practical skills, and creating a unique space.
TYPES OF WORKSHOPS/ EVENTS
Reflection & Action Workshops
Previously running workshops on goal setting and effective communication led me to the idea of Reflection & Action Workshops.
Using custom worksheets to promote deep reflection, spark honest discussion, and develop action plans. Combining proven counseling modes with practical goal-setting methods to help you define what you want, focus on the obstacles, and build a tangible plan to get it done - all while being in a space you can share, listen and resonate with others.
Talk Circles
Sometimes you don't need a clinical intervention or an immediate solution; you just need to drop the armor and have a space that lets you speak - to share the losses, the wins, and everything in-between. Talk Circles provide a genuine, raw environment for men to feel heard without someone immediately jumping in to "fix" them.
It is a dedicated space to vent, listen, and support others as shared experiences resonate. No pressure, no expectations, and absolutely no phones in sight—just a grounded circle of men talking about the real stuff in their life.
Wisdom Circles
I facilitate specialized sessions within aged care and retirement facilities designed to combat the loss of purpose that often comes with aging. Wisdom circles allow elders to reflect, discuss and share their life lessons, real stories and hard-earned advice.
Empower your male residents by giving them their agency back. We don't 'manage' them— we allow them to be contributors and teachers.
