monthly online group therapy
This group is for you if:
You are an adult child from a dysfunctional family with a parent who was critical, narcissistic, emotionally immature, absent or alcoholic.
You grew up in a home where love felt conditional, emotional safety was unpredictable and speaking your truth came with consequences.
You were made to feel “too much” or “not enough,” and learned early on to suppress your feelings to avoid conflict, shame or abandonment.
You carried roles like the caretaker, the scapegoat or the achiever and still find yourself repeating those dynamics in adult relationships.
You’ve been the one holding it all together, even when no one held you; and now you’re feeling the weight of that emotional exhaustion.
You long for connection but find yourself either shutting down, pushing people away or attaching quickly to those who can’t truly meet you.
You want to make sense of your family story with others who have lived through a similar chaos, silence or emotional neglect.
You want to work on healthier patterns of relationship in the here and now and let go of unhelpful responses which no longer serve you.

break the cycle
If you’re aware that the past is still shaping your present, and if you’re ready to experience relationships where you don’t have to manage, please or perform for others to experience care, acceptance and belonging, then I invite you to join us.
This group offers a safe space to break old patterns that no longer serve you and practice show up in new, more authentic ways with other cycle breakers who get the challenges of being part of a dysfunctional family system and are healing from it too.
the details
A six month commitment is required with new cohorts opening in January and July each year.
Group runs on the first Tuesday evening of each month at 6-7.30pm (UK time).
The group is limited to just 8 members to create a safe and intimate space.
All members must be engaging in their own individual therapy (can be with me, or a different therapist) to process what may come up in between.
Groups are held online via Zoom. You will therefore need a stable internet connection (strong enough to watch Netflix) and access to a quiet, private space to maintain confidentiality.
Group fees are £330 for the full 6 months. A non-refundable deposit of £150 is required to save your space and is deducted from the total. You can choose to pay the remaining balance in full, or pay 6x monthly payments of £30). This equates to £55 a month.
At the end of the six months, you can renew membership and continue attending for as long as you need.
