Groups

Women's Group

A therapeutic group offers a unique and confidential space in which we can reflect upon ourselves and get valuable feedback from others.
The experience of working with other women in an on-going group is empowering, enlightening and creates opportunities to get to know and share who we are.

Any issue can be brought and worked on. Some recurring themes have been;

  • Creating and managing satisfying relationships with partners, friends, family and colleagues
  • Work and career transition or satisfaction
  • Self care and building resourcefulness

The group meets every 3 weeks on a Saturday afternoon, from 1pm to 5pm.

Spaces are limited to six participants. An initial commitment of two terms is required.

If you are interested in joining, or would like further information, please call or email.

Fee per term: £350

"What’s Normal?"

An ongoing supportive group for those with family or friends affected by mental illness.

Growing up around or having experience of a loved one with severe mental illness, such as schizophrenia, psychosis or bipolar disorder, often means the focus and attention goes to them. For those left dealing with the grief, anger and feelings of isolation, there is little left over.

Family members can become relentlessly resourceful and highly functioning, avoiding shame at all costs and finding it hard to show or express vulnerability. Others withdraw doing their best to be invisible in the world. Either way, we become accustomed to keeping our own needs to a minimum, often with an unspoken fear of when will it be me?

This is an opportunity to tell our stories, share experiences and knowledge, connect with others and discover resources available within us.

We will look at how to prioritise our own issues and develop self-care techniques for life as well as in crisis, how we create and maintain boundaries and feel more solid in how we talk about our experience.

Spaces are limited to five participants. The group meets fortnightly on Saturday afternoons. An initial commitment of two terms is required.
