Life Cafe changed my life! - Karen
Time to move your mindset?
It’s easy to get distracted in a busy materialistic world, losing sight of the important things in life.
Life Cafe Club helps you to move your mindset, connect your life and impact a lonely world using our E-Courses, Workshops & Life Cafe.
Join the discovery!
Leave your old world behind
Our mindset has been shaped, in part, by clever marketing & social media (you need to buy stuff or like stuff) making it difficult to deepen our focus and develop meaningful relationships.
Sadly, this rat race mindset (for want of a better term) is hard to change and, instead of looking inward, many of us continue to look outward for things or approval.
Reflect E-Courses
Start a New Adventure!
Life, no matter what age or stage, always has a way of raising simple but fundamental questions that demand honest answers.
Questions like: What is my life all about? Am I happy with my daily routines? What could I do if I had no fear? Am I good enough? How can I make a difference? What will people say at my funeral?
Then there are questions about relationships: How do I really get on with my family members? Who are my real friends? Who can I turn to for help? How can I move the conversation from small talk to soul talk?
To help you unpack these and other life questions we've designed a self-paced online adventure to help know yourself better inside & out.
- Inner Life
- Outer Life
- Mind & Soul Toolbox
Connect Workshops
Sure, we come into this world alone and leave it alone. However, no person is an island. The aim in life is to develop and deepen our relationships with family & friends, and grow together in community. But how can we grow if we can’t connect?

About Us

Life Cafe Counselling
Life Cafe Club was created to address the loneliness epidemic. Health services are so stretched that there are simply not enough paid professionals to deal with the tsunami of lonely people in the community. Professionals are like ambulances at the bottom of a cliff. While this is obviously important (see Life Cafe Counselling), putting a robust fence at the top of the cliff makes more sense. That's why we're committed to transforming lives and connecting communities. Join the conversation!

Life Cafe Counselling
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced (Kierkegaard). The old mental health model focuses on individual problems (assessment, diagnosis and treatment). The new wellness model focuses more on holistic health, life skills and supportive communities. This new direction is fully embraced @ Life Cafe Club. Checkout our Healthy Minds Reading about social issues and personal growth, it explores the practical skills and services needed to thrive, not just survive.

Hi! I've struggled with loneliness, even did my doctorate on loneliness, and that's why I'm passionate about transforming lives and connecting communities. As a psychologist with over 30 years experience, I've lived and worked in residential housing for youth and people with a mental illness; co-written psychology textbooks for secondary schools; and was the Director of Counselling Program at the University of South Australia. Now I train life coaches in community centres and online. Beyond Loneliness is a novel life coach project that aims to transform loneliness in the community through the training and support of life coaches in Life Cafes.
