Conversations that reveal what creates connection.
Addressing Disconnection is an ongoing exploration of how people move from disconnection to connection, in relationships, organisations, and public life.
The Work
About the work
Disconnection often lies beneath many of the struggles, misunderstandings, loneliness, and emotional pain we experience. Addressing Disconnection explores practical ways of strengthening connection—with ourselves and with one another.
Addressing Disconnection is a live exploration of connection, emotion, relationships, and the patterns that shape our lives.
Part audience conversation, part live emotional exploration, these events offer audiences the opportunity to witness and experience how meaningful emotional shifts can occur, while revealing practical ways of creating more connection in everyday life.
About
About Tim
Conversationalist · Clinical Psychologist · Executive Consultant · Podcaster
For more than thirty years, I have worked with people to understand and to help address their challenges. Over time, I have increasingly found myself asking: Is there a common source of people’s difficulties? And if so, can it be addressed efficiently?
Addressing Disconnection considers that question. What happens when we become disconnected from ourselves and from one another? And what helps foster connection?
Dr Tim Ambrose is a clinical psychologist, executive consultant, facilitator, and podcaster based in Sydney, Australia. For more than three decades, he has worked with individuals, couples, families, executives, organisations, and groups, helping people navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and communicate more effectively.
Long before becoming a psychologist, Tim studied languages and philosophy and immersed himself in cultures very different from his own. Living, studying, and working across countries and cultures broadened his perspective on humanity and deepened his appreciation of our most basic and common need: connection.
Drawing on psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, evolutionary theory, language, and life experience, Tim has developed practical and accessible approaches to understanding human emotion and experience. His work is designed to help people understand themselves, and access ways of improving their connectedness with themselves and with others.
Through Addressing Disconnection, Tim explores the experience of being human - integrating theory, science, language and common sense into an engaging event that offers people practical insights, questions and approaches designed to help us all navigate many of life’s difficulties more effectively.
Tim holds a BA from Dartmouth College and MS and PhD degrees in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers University. He is a registered psychologist in Australia and the United States and has worked internationally across clinical, consulting, and educational settings. He is fluent in French and German.

Testimonials
In their words
One of the most competent group facilitators and trainers I have known and worked with. His on-the-edge knowledge of the application of the latest neuroscience research puts him in an elite category of human change agents. Truly a magician, I stand in admiration of the elegance and efficiency of his gifts.
One of Tim's great strengths is designing programs to meet the specific needs of participants. In all these programs Tim's knowledge, skills and experience have had a profound impact, many finding the experience transformational.
The art of connection was my key take-out, with a gentle reminder that authenticity is so critical in our busy lives. The layers of learning that Tim is able to offer are both generous and genuine.
Tim's approach quickly creates exceptional self-insight and clarity, whilst not always pleasant this is definitely illuminating. This awareness is then complemented by understanding the necessary steps to move forward.
