Frazzled Cafe in Southend
Frazzled Cafe is excited to announce an expansion of our successful face to face meetings for people in the Southend-on-Sea area. Led by our amazing Volunteer Team, we are now running sessions every Monday, where local residents can share, listen and be supported in a confidential space.
Similar to our online sessions, these face to face meetings are a non-judgemental and confidential space where people who are feeling frazzled have the chance to be heard. Speaking is optional, and silences can often be welcome.
Meetings take place every Monday at: Attic Cafe, 48 Eastern Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea SS1 2ES
Join us for a coffee at 6:45 arrival for a cup of tea / coffee, 7pm start.
Meetings
Free parking is available on Victoria Road, Shaftesbury Avenue, and Eastern Esplanade past the Premier Inn.
If you're travelling into Southend on the train the nearest C2C line station is Southend East and the nearest Great Western line is Southend Victoria.
Walking into a new place for the first time can be tricky, so one of our friendly Frazzled Cafe team will be there to welcome you and help you feel comfortable.
As there are limited spaces per meeting, please sign up via the booking page to attend, and cancel your place either using the booking instructions or by emailing team@frazzledcafe.org if you can no longer come so that someone on the waiting list can take your space.
For any questions please email team@frazzledcafe.org
Session guidelines
01
To act with integrity. Please respect one another’s confidentiality and anonymity. Please do not name anyone or discuss anything you may hear in a meeting with others who have not attended.
02
To let everyone have a voice. Please respect one another by giving everybody the chance to contribute without interruption and by not dominating or disrupting the conversation. The facilitator may show a white card after 3 minutes to signal the end of a speaker’s turn.
03
To listen without offering solutions. Please focus your contribution on personal experiences and not political/thematic concepts. When speaking please focus on what resonates with you personally, not on providing answers or solutions to others.
04
To be kind to ourselves and each other. This is NOT group therapy and no-one should feel under pressure to say anything. We do hope that in hearing others’ experiences you will feel encouraged to share your own. Whether you speak or not, please treat each other in a supportive and considerate way.
05
To welcome people from all backgrounds and points of view. We have no religious, political or commercial affiliations and ask that participants refrain from promoting any that they might have.
06
To be present. To benefit fully from the session and stay present in the room, please try to avoid distractions from phones or other devices.
