Healthy Minds. Connected Lives.
“A great challenge and the best thing ever. I’ve been looking for this all my life.” - Robyn
Carl Jung
Feeling lost and lonely in a world obsessed with likes and followers?
Stuck in mindless or meaningless tasks sensing there's more to life?
Mental health is not about fixing what's broken
but unlocking what's possible.
Hi, I’m Dr Paul Whetham, a clinical psychologist who did my doctorate on loneliness - which is an unlikely gateway to individuation (authenticity).
Welcome to Life Cafe where we help you cut through the noise to find your meaning path. We use creativity, conversation and bold experiments to reshape how you think, feel and connect:
"Life Cafe is the best thing I've ever done" – Tom
"Less lonely, my world transformed" – Liv
"Smashed my darkest thoughts" – Kim
"Life Cafe changed my life!" - Karen
When did connection become noise? When did real conversation become communication junk food?
Loneliness is an epidemic and a killer—it effects 1 in 3 people and takes up to 15 years off your life.
Our Community Connector Course offers 10-hours of free training to help members of the community flip the scrip on loneliness and equip them with practical skills to become Community Connectors who can move the conversation from small talk to soul talk.
The aim of the Beyond Loneliness Project is to impact a lonely planet through community education and skills training. "Loneliness doesn’t come from not having people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that are most important to you."—Carl Jung
We partner with Governments and Councils to provide free skills training through our 10-hour Community Connector Course. Dr Whetham did his PhD on loneliness and previously trained counsellors in universities, now he trains Community Connectors in Life Cafes.
