The January offer
Rolling drop-in sessions are paused while we bring together a suitable, reachable group for January 2027. The pilot is free for adults 18+ in London or with a London connection, with one-hour Google Meet sessions and no physical venue. Dates and frequency will be confirmed before places are allocated. Actual sessions are ideally 4-8 people, capped at 10.
The group is for adults who want a respectful online space to think aloud, feel less alone, and identify something manageable to do next. The deeper aim is meaningful participation: wellbeing, relationships, volunteering, learning, work readiness, community involvement, and a stronger sense that life can feel understandable, manageable, and meaningful.
The method
Reflect
Notice patterns, barriers, values, hopes, and choices.
Connect
Build belonging and signpost where another service may help.
Act
Choose a manageable step if you wish; adapt it or pass.
Encouragement belongs to the participant: you decide what matters and whether to revisit a step. No fixed goal, compulsory homework, forced disclosure or private peer contact is required. Any preparation stays optional and private. This is not therapy, counselling, coaching, crisis support, casework or an advice service.

Facilitators
Krystian is a co-founder of Connection & Direction with experience in homelessness support, reflective practice, vulnerable-adult services and third-sector management. His role in the pilot is to support safe group boundaries, practical signposting and the “one manageable next step” approach. He is especially interested in connection, confidence, systems-aware support and using technology ethically to widen access without replacing human judgement.
Bogdan Micu is a co-founder of Connection & Direction and a psychotherapist with experience in reflective practice, emotional wellbeing and culturally aware support. In the pilot, he helps hold a calm, respectful group space where people can think aloud, notice patterns and identify realistic next steps. His psychotherapy background informs the facilitation, but Connection & Direction is not therapy, counselling or clinical treatment. He works in both English and Romanian.
Languages
Sessions are mainly in English. Polish and Romanian support may be available for registration, clarification, and access needs where possible. The first pilot does not promise full live translation.
