If your friendships don't feel as deep, reciprocal, or nourishing as you'd like, then this programme is absolutely relevant. Many of our members have people they call friends, but struggle with one-sided dynamics, surface-level conversations, or connections that fade over time. This programme helps you understand why that happens and how to create healthier patterns going forward.

This isn't magic - friendships take time to develop. But most members report feeling more confident and intentional about their friendships within the first six weeks, and start seeing tangible changes in their relationships within 3 - 6 months. The key is that you're building skills and frameworks you'll use for life, not looking for a quick fix.

This isn't just a course you work through alone and then abandon when life gets busy. The Friendshift Circle communit means you have ongoing support, accountability, and real people to discuss what you're learning with. Plus, the course is designed to be practical - you can dip in and out of modules as you need them, rather than forcing yourself through them in order. Many members find they revisit modules multiple times as different friendship situations arise.

Absolutely. This programme is specifically designed for people who prefer to connect in a lower key way. I'm not going to tell you to "just put yourself out there" or attend massive networking events. Everything here is about building a few meaningful connections in ways that feel authentic to you. Many of our community members are introverted and / or neurodivergent, and the strategies are designed to work with your natural tendencies, not against them.

That's okay! We have lots of people who are part of our community without attending the live events. All workshops are recorded, and there are often write ups from the group coaching sessions too. So you can learn whenever it suits you. The content in 'New Shoots, Deep Roots' is available 24/7, as is our learning library. You can engage in community discussions as much or as little as feels right - there's no pressure to be constantly active. This is about support when you need it, not another obligation on your to-do list.

I hear you. However at current prices, one month of membership costs less than one fancy coffee a week, one streaming service you barely use, or a single takeaway. Ask yourself honestly: would you trade one weekly coffee for an end to feeling unseen and alone, and a thriving friendship circle? Because that's literally the exchange rate. This isn't about buying another product - it's about investing in yourself, in your capacity for connection, in your quality of life. Can you afford not to prioritise it? The current price is very low for the masses of value you get, and reflects one of my core values, which is around keeping my work as accessible and affordable as possible.

Yes! The Friendshift Circle is an online community and our members live all over the world. The principles of friendship building are universal, and whilst some cultural nuances differ, the core frameworks work everywhere. The only thing to be aware of is that live sessions are almost always held at midday UK time (that's either GMT or GMT+1 depending on the time of year). Workshops are recorded so you can watch them back regardless of time zone.

This programme gives you all the foundational knowledge and community support at a fraction of the cost of 1:1 work. It's perfect if you want to learn the mechanics of friendship-building and have some support along the way. 1:1 coaching is more personalised and intensive - it's for when you need tailored support for specific, complex situations or want deeper individual work. Many people start here and then add 1:1 coaching later.

No problem! New Shoots, Deep Roots comes with a 2 week / 14 day cooling off period. I'm confident you'll have a great experience, but if you're not getting what you need from the course then just let me know and I'll refund what you've paid, in full, no questions asked. I want you here because it's genuinely helpful, not because you feel stuck.
