Groups & Schedule

Anxiety can have many faces. Some experience it as intense and/or frequent worry, others as constant restlessness, overthinking, or physical tension. It may also show up as avoidance of certain situations, difficulty relaxing, or a sense that your mind is always “switched on”.

In this group, there is space to explore these experiences together. The focus is on observing and understanding how anxiety affects you personally, noticing the patterns it creates in your thoughts, body, and daily life, and gradually reducing its hold over you. The group also offers a place to practise being present with others, build confidence in social situations, and discover that difficult feelings can be held and worked through in connection with others.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Living with constant worry, overthinking, tension, or difficulty relaxing
• –Feeling overwhelmed by expectations, uncertainty, or fear of losing control
• –Struggling with panic, people-pleasing, avoidance, or physical symptoms of stress
• –Wanting a safe space to understand your anxiety and feel less alone with it

This group is for people who notice that their relationship with their phone, social media, scrolling, work, gambling, shopping, or other forms of constant stimulation has started to feel difficult to manage.

Many people today experience a subtle but persistent pull toward being always available, always productive, or always connected. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, disrupted sleep, and a sense of never fully switching off. It can also bring feelings of guilt, frustration, or shame, especially when you find yourself caught in patterns you understand well but struggle to change

In this group, there is space to explore what lies beneath these habits, what they may be regulating, avoiding, or replacing, without judgment and without the pressure to have already figured it out. Understanding the roots of a pattern is often the first and most important step toward loosening its hold.

Over time, the group offers an opportunity to gradually create more space for attention, rest, and presence, and to develop a greater sense of choice in how you live your daily life.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling caught in repetitive behaviours or addictions that no longer feel fully in your control
• –Using substances, shopping, gambling, exercise, work, screens, or other compulsions to cope with difficult emotions or emptiness
• –Experiencing shame, isolation, or self-criticism around your patterns and wanting support without judgment
• –Wanting to understand the deeper emotional roots of addiction and build healthier ways of relating to yourself and others

Every relationship goes through difficult periods. You may find yourselves having the same arguments over and over without resolution, feeling emotionally distant from each other, or struggling to communicate in a way that feels safe and heard. Perhaps trust has been damaged, intimacy has faded, or you simply feel that you and your partner are no longer on the same page.

This group brings together couples who recognise these challenges and want to do something about them, not in isolation, but in the company of others who understand. Sharing a space with other pairs can be surprisingly powerful. Seeing how others navigate similar struggles, hearing different perspectives, and realising that your challenges are not unique can bring both relief and new insight.

In the group, you and your partner will have the opportunity to explore the patterns and dynamics that keep you stuck, learn and practise clearer and kinder ways of communicating, rebuild understanding and emotional closeness, and gain practical tools to handle conflict in a healthier way. At the same time, you will find support in a community of couples working toward the same goal.

This group welcomes couples of all ages, backgrounds, and identities, whether you have been together for two years or twenty, and whether your relationship feels fragile right now or simply in need of deeper connection.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –You and your partner keep having the same conflicts without feeling truly heard or understood
• –Communication has become tense, distant, or emotionally exhausting
• –You miss closeness, intimacy, or the sense of being a team together
• –You want support navigating trust, connection, life transitions, or recurring relationship patterns

We may experience depression in very different ways. For some, it appears as a persistent sense of sadness, emptiness, or emotional numbness; For others, it can take the form of overwhelm, irritability, restlessness, or a growing sense of disconnection from oneself and others. In many cases, depression emerges more subtly through ongoing fatigue, reduced motivation, difficulty concentrating, or a gradual loss of interest and meaning in everyday life. Even tasks that once felt simple may begin to require considerable effort, while relationships, work, or daily responsibilities can start to feel increasingly difficult to manage.

Because depression often leads people to withdraw inwardly, many experience a deep sense of loneliness or feel that others cannot fully understand what they are going through. Hearing others describe similar struggles can therefore be both relieving and grounding. It can help participants recognise patterns in their own experience, reduce shame and self-criticism, and feel less alone in what they are carrying.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling emotionally numb, hopeless, disconnected, or exhausted for longer than you wish
• –Struggling to find meaning, energy, motivation, or joy in everyday life
• –Carrying heavy self-criticism, loneliness, or shame in silence
• –Wanting support, understanding, and connection without having to pretend you are okay

Difficult relationships with food often go far beyond food itself. At their heart, they frequently touch on deeper experiences of control, emotions, self-worth, anxiety, and the need for safety or regulation. In everyday life, this may show up as a preoccupation with food or body image, cycles of strict rules and loss of control, guilt or shame around eating, or persistent sense of being stuck in patterns that feel hard to change. It can also mean carrying a great deal in secret, or feeling profoundly misunderstood, even by those closest to you.

Reaching out for support with something so personal takes real courage. Many people who struggle in this way have done so quietly for a long time. Finding a space where these experiences can be spoken about honestly, without fear of judgment or pressure to change overnight, can itself feel like a significant step.

In this group, the focus is on understanding the emotional and psychological patterns that sit beneath the surface, building awareness and self-compassion, and gradually developing a more flexible and kinder relationship with food, the body, and yourself.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –You feel trapped in cycles of restriction, bingeing, emotional eating, or guilt around food
• –Your relationship with your body and self-image affects your confidence, relationships, or daily life
• –You often feel alone with thoughts about food, control, shame, or perfectionism
• –You long for a safe space where you can share openly, feel understood, and heal together with others who relate

Emotional abuse does not always leave visible marks, and that is part of what makes it so difficult to name. It can live in a tone of voice, a look, a pattern of words repeated over time until they begin to feel like truth. It may show up as constant criticism, being made to feel small or incapable, having your reality questioned, or feeling as though you are always walking on eggshells. Over time, this kind of pain can quietly erode your sense of who you are and what you deserve.

Many people in this situation find it hard to trust their own perception. You may wonder whether what you are experiencing is really abuse, whether you are being too sensitive, or whether things are actually as difficult as they feel. Others may sense that something in their own behaviour is causing harm to someone they love, and carry the weight of that recognition in silence.

Whether you are beginning to name something that has long been unnamed, trying to understand a relationship that confuses you, or sitting with something you are not yet ready to call what it is, you are welcome here.

Together, the group offers a space to gently rebuild trust in your own perceptions, reconnect with your own worth, and find solid ground again. through small, honest steps toward greater clarity, inner strength, and peace.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling confused, diminished, controlled, or emotionally unsafe in a relationship
• –Struggling with self-doubt, anxiety, guilt, or difficulty trusting your own experience
• –Noticing patterns of manipulation, criticism, gaslighting, or emotional dependency
• –Wanting support to reconnect with your sense of self, boundaries, and emotional safety

Being an expat can be both enriching and challenging. Living in a new country often brings moments of loneliness, homesickness, and the difficulty of building new relationships from scratch. It can also mean navigating unfamiliar systems, language barriers, and the subtle feeling of not fully belonging anywhere. In a way, you may find yourself living in between cultures and identities.

This group offers a space to speak openly about the emotional weight of adjustment, the shifts in identity that come with relocation, and the quiet longing for what feels familiar. At the same time, it is a place to explore what is emerging in this new chapter of life — who you are becoming, and how you are finding your footing in a new environment. Over time, this shared process can help strengthen a sense of grounding and support the gradual development of belonging, right where you are now.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling caught between cultures, identities, languages, or ways of belonging
• –Experiencing loneliness, disconnection, homesickness, or difficulty building community
• –Struggling with relationships, career pressure, or feeling “between worlds”
• –Wanting a space where the emotional side of expat life can be understood and shared

Grief and loss affect each person in deeply personal and often unexpected ways. It can touch emotions, relationships, identity, and daily functioning, sometimes bringing waves of sadness, numbness, confusion, or longing that come and go without warning. There is no right way to grieve, and no fixed timeline. Only a process that unfolds differently for everyone.

But grief does not only follow the death of someone we love. It can also come through divorce or separation, estrangement, illness, miscarriage, or any experience of losing something or someone that held deep meaning. One of the hardest things about grief is how isolating it can feel. The world often moves on quickly, while inside something fundamental has changed. Being in the presence of others who truly understand that experience, without needing to explain or justify it, can itself be a source of quiet healing.

The focus of this group is on emotional support, understanding the grieving process, and finding ways to live alongside loss while rebuilding stability and meaning In this group, there is space to speak honestly about what you are carrying, to sit with difficult emotions, and to explore what it means to live alongside loss rather than beyond it.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling alone with your grief, even when surrounded by others
• –Struggling to move forward after the loss of a loved one, relationship, or life chapter
• –Carrying emotions such as sadness, numbness, guilt, anger, or emptiness that feel difficult to share
• –Longing for a safe space where your loss can be understood without pressure to “get over it”

This group is a space for men and male-identifying individuals who want to better understand themselves, their emotions, and the pressures they may be carrying in silence. It is for those navigating stress, responsibility, relationship challenges, fatherhood, work demands, or a sense of being disconnected from themselves or others.

Many men find themselves expected to keep going no matter what, to manage alone, stay in control, and not take up too much space with their inner life. This group offers a moment to step out of that role. It is a place where it is possible to speak honestly about uncertainty, frustration, exhaustion, or feeling stuck, and to do so in the company of others who understand.

At the same time, this is not just a space for unburdening. It is also a space for reflection, growth, and genuine connection. Many participants discover that others share similar struggles beneath the surface, even when their lives look very different on the outside. Over time, this can help reduce isolation, loosen unhelpful patterns, and build a more grounded and authentic relationship with yourself and the people around you.

Rather than about “fixing & performance”, this group is about understanding, sharing, and building a different kind of strength: One that includes awareness, openness, and connection.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling pressure to always be strong, in control, or emotionally contained
• –Struggling with loneliness, vulnerability, anger, intimacy, or identity as a man
• –Wanting deeper and more authentic relationships with yourself and others
• –Looking for a space where masculinity can be explored openly and without judgment

Many parents find themselves in confusing questions about how to guide their children in a digital age, how to manage social media influence, and how to balance screen time with real connection and family life. Beyond the practical challenges, parenting also brings a deeper emotional landscape that is rarely talked about openly.

Some parents may also carry quiet grief over the relationship they imagined, feelings of being unseen or rejected by their child, or the unsettling recognition of their own childhood patterns showing up in how they parent. Others struggle with the particular complexity of co-parenting after separation, blending families in a new relationship, or finding their footing as a step-parent, where love, loyalty, and boundaries can pull in very different directions. Differences in parenting styles between partners or ex-partners, even in small things, can feel loaded and exhausting over time.

Parenting also changes who you are. Moving through different stages of parenthood — from the early years to adolescence, from full house to empty nest — can quietly shift your sense of identity, purpose, and belonging in ways that are not always easy to name.

In this group, there is no expectation of having the right answers. It is a space to reflect honestly on your experience as a parent, hear how others navigate similar challenges, and find reassurance in knowing you are not alone.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling overwhelmed, guilty, frustrated, or emotionally drained as a parent
• –Struggling with boundaries, conflict, emotional regulation, or family dynamics
• –Wanting to parent with more connection while managing your own stress and triggers
• –Looking for support in the complexities and emotional realities of raising children

Living with an intense or persistent fear can reshape your life. Over time, certain situations, places, objects, or sensations begin to feel impossible to approach, and the effort of avoiding them can become exhausting. What may have started as a single difficult experience can gradually grow into something that limits your freedom, affects your daily choices, and leaves you feeling increasingly trapped.

Many people also carry a layer of shame or embarrassment about their fear, particularly when it is hard to explain to others or seems disproportionate to the situation. This can make it feel very isolating, as though something is fundamentally wrong with you, rather than a response that made sense at some point and has simply become stuck.

Progress in this group looks different for everyone. For some, it means facing something that once felt out of reach. For others, it is simply feeling less alone with the fear, or understanding it in a way that makes it slightly less powerful.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Avoiding situations, places, or experiences because of intense fear or anxiety
• –Feeling limited or controlled by fears that others may not fully understand
• –Struggling with shame, panic, or frustration around your reactions
• –Wanting support in facing fears gradually

Pregnancy is one of the most significant transitions a woman can go through, and yet the full emotional reality of it is rarely spoken about openly. Alongside anticipation and hope, it can also bring anxiety, uncertainty, self-doubt, and a sense of being overwhelmed by the magnitude of what lies ahead.

There is often an unspoken pressure to appear happy and grateful throughout pregnancy, which can make it harder to acknowledge when the experience feels more complicated than that. Some women struggle with heightened anxiety about health or birth, unexpected changes in mood, difficulty adjusting to bodily changes, or a fear of becoming a parent that feels impossible to admit. Others feel lonely, disconnected from their relationship, or uncertain about who they are becoming. These experiences are far more common than they appear, and they deserve a space of their own.

Pregnancy also brings a profound shift in identity. The woman you have been is making room for someone new, and that process can feel disorienting, even when it is also meaningful. Questions about your relationship, your sense of self, your body, and your future can all surface at once, and not always at a convenient moment.

This group is a space for expectant mothers to explore all of this honestly, including first-time mothers, those without a partner or support network, and anyone carrying more than they feel able to share elsewhere.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Experiencing emotional changes, uncertainty, fear, or vulnerability during pregnancy
• –Feeling overwhelmed by expectations around motherhood, identity, or your body
• –Struggling with anxiety, loneliness, relationship changes, or fears about the future
• –Wanting a supportive space to share openly and feel emotionally held during this transition

Many of us struggle in our relationships, not just with a partner, but with family members, friends, colleagues, or our own children. Perhaps you find it hard to speak openly at home or at work, find yourself in repeated arguments without knowing how to break the pattern, or feel unheard, disrespected, or disconnected from people who matter to you. Maybe trust has been broken, boundaries are unclear, or there is a numbing awareness that your relationships are not as close or as fulfilling as you would like them to be.

Sometimes these difficulties also stir something deeper. A fear of being too much or not enough, a tendency to withdraw when things get hard, or a lingering self-doubt about whether real connection is possible for you. These are experiences many people carry silently, and they are very welcome in this group.

Together with others navigating similar challenges, there is space here to explore what gets in the way of good connections, understand your own patterns in relationships, and practise new ways of communicating and relating.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Finding yourself stuck in the same painful relationship patterns again and again
• –Struggling with conflict, communication, closeness, or fear of rejection in relationships
• –Feeling torn between longing for connection and wanting to protect yourself
• –Wanting a safe space to better understand yourself and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships

Many people move through life carrying a quiet but persistent sense of not being enough. It may show up as a constant pressure to do more, be better, or measure up, alongside a fear of falling short or being judged. In relationships it can feel like walking on eggshells around your own value. At work it may look like overworking to compensate, or holding back from opportunities out of fear of being exposed. In social situations it can create a sense of being on the outside looking in, as though others have access to a confidence or ease that simply does not feel available to you.

Living with an inner critic that is always watching, always evaluating, is exhausting. And yet for many people it has become so familiar that it feels like simply who they are, rather than a pattern that developed for reasons and can, over time, begin to shift.

In this group, there is space to slow down and begin to notice these patterns with more awareness and less judgment. Rather than trying to fix yourself, the focus is on understanding where these inner voices come from and how they shape your experience. Through shared reflection with others who recognise similar struggles, many participants find that the inner critic gradually loses some of its authority, and that a more grounded relationship with themselves slowly begins to grow.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling never good enough, despite your efforts or achievements
• –Living with harsh self-criticism, shame, perfectionism, or fear of failure
• –Struggling to accept care, take up space, or feel deserving in relationships
• –Wanting to build a kinder and more secure relationship with yourself

Single Fathers is a supportive space for men and father-figures raising children on their own, whether by choice, circumstance, separation, loss, or life transition. It is for those who carry the responsibility of parenting day-to-day while also managing work, practical demands, and their own emotional world.

Many single fathers find themselves holding a great deal at once, being provider, caregiver, and emotional anchor, often without much space to pause or be honest about how they are really doing. There can also be a particular loneliness in making important decisions alone, navigating co-parenting dynamics, or simply having no one to share the small moments of the day with. And beneath the role of father, it is easy to lose sight of who you are as a person.

This group acknowledges that reality. It is a place where the challenges of solo parenting can be spoken about openly: The stress, the fatigue, the uncertainty, and the pressure to "keep it together." There is no expectation of having everything under control.

At the same time, it is also a space to recognise the strength, resilience, and meaning that fatherhood carries. The small victories, the moments of real connection with your children, and the quiet sense of purpose that often sits alongside the difficulties are all part of the story too.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Navigating the pressures of fatherhood while carrying the responsibility alone
• –Feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsupported in the challenges of being a single father
• –Struggling to balance emotional presence, work, co-parenting, and personal wellbeing
• –Wanting a space to share openly with other fathers who understand the complexity, love, and exhaustion of raising children on your own

This group welcomes all mothers and mother-figures raising children on their own, whether by choice, circumstance, separation, loss, or life transition. It focuses on the many different aspects of single parenting and strives to create a sense of connection, recognition, and shared understanding.

Being a single parent means many things. It means carrying the weight of daily responsibilities alone, navigating moments of doubt, and finding ways to balance work and parenting while rarely having space to pause for yourself. It can also mean making big decisions without someone to lean on, and sometimes feeling invisible as a person beyond your role as a parent. And yet, alongside all of this, there are also moments of joy, pride, and tenderness that are entirely your own.

In this group, there is no expectation of doing it all “perfectly.” Instead, there is room to be honest, to breathe, and to be seen without judgment. There can be comfort in discovering that others share similar struggles and questions, even when our stories look different on the surface.

Over time, many mothers find not only relief in being understood, but also a gradual reconnection with who they are beyond parenthood.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Carrying the emotional and practical responsibility of parenting largely on your own
• –Feeling exhausted, unseen, or overwhelmed while trying to hold everything together
• –Struggling to balance caregiving, work, identity, and personal needs
• –Wanting support and connection with other mothers who truly understand

Many people arrive at this group after a long period of pushing through. The exhaustion has built gradually, rest no longer feels restorative, and even simple tasks have begun to feel like too much. You may recognise irritability, difficulty switching off, disrupted sleep, or a persistent sense of running on empty while still trying to meet expectations at work, at home, and in relationships.

But burnout is more than tiredness. For many people, it also brings a loss of motivation, a fading of things that once felt meaningful, and a disconnection from who they are beyond their responsibilities. There can also be guilt or shame in not coping, especially when, from the outside, everything may still appear to be functioning.

In this group, there is space to step out of that for a moment and begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we explore the patterns that maintain stress and burnout, including high self-demand, difficulty recognising personal limits, and the gradual erosion of connection with your own needs. Understanding these patterns is often the first step toward something different.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling constantly overwhelmed, exhausted, or unable to truly rest
• –Struggling with pressure, perfectionism, emotional fatigue, or loss of motivation
• –Noticing that stress is affecting your relationships, body, sleep, or sense of self
• –Wanting support to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and recover balance

These women-only groups are for those feeling the challenges of hormonal transitions. There is a moment many women describe as something shifting. Sleep is different. Energy is different. The way you feel in your own body, in your relationships, in your sense of self, is different. And yet the world around you often continues as though nothing has changed, leaving many women to go through one of life's most significant transitions largely in silence.

This period can bring a wide range of experiences. Disrupted sleep, changes in energy, memory, and concentration, shifts in libido, and physical discomfort are common. But alongside these, many women are also experiencing unexpected mood changes, anxiety, a loss of confidence, or a creeping sense of invisibility that is hard to name but impossible to ignore.

There is also a deeper identity dimension to this transition. Menopause is not only a biological event. It can stir questions about ageing, relevance, relationships, and purpose. Some women find themselves grieving a version of themselves that is passing, while simultaneously sensing the possibility of something new emerging. Both of these experiences are valid, and both deserve space.

Whether you are in the early stages of perimenopause, navigating the full transition, or finding your footing in the years beyond, this group offers a space to be honest about all of it, in the company of others who truly understand.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Experiencing emotional, physical, or identity changes that feel difficult to navigate alone
• –Feeling misunderstood, disconnected from yourself, or overwhelmed by hormonal shifts
• –Struggling with mood changes, sleep, anxiety, grief, or changing relationships
• –Wanting a supportive space to share openly and reconnect with yourself

Many people find themselves in a complicated relationship with pornography or sexual behaviour without quite knowing how it happened. What may have begun as something ordinary gradually became more frequent, more necessary, or harder to step back from. Over time, it may have begun to interfere with daily life, relationships, work, or simply with how you feel about yourself. This is more common than it appears. And yet it is one of the most difficult things to speak about, carrying a weight of shame and secrecy that keeps most people silent for far longer than they should have to be.

For many people, simply being able to speak about something that has lived in silence for a long time is itself a significant and meaningful step. Meanwhile, hearing others speak openly about similar experiences often helps reduce shame and the sense of being alone with the struggle

Through guided discussion and therapeutic reflection, participants are supported in developing greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and more sustainable ways of managing urges and emotional distress. The group focuses not only on reducing compulsive behaviours, but also on strengthening connection, self-understanding, and overall emotional wellbeing.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling caught in sexual behaviours or pornography use that no longer feel fully in your control
• –Experiencing shame, secrecy, isolation, or conflict in relationships because of these patterns
• –Using sex, fantasy, or pornography to cope with stress, loneliness, emptiness, or difficult emotions
• –Wanting support to understand the deeper emotional roots of these behaviours and create healthier connection

Parenting a child with special needs or neurodiversity brings a depth of love, dedication, and commitment that is hard to put into words. It also brings a particular kind of exhaustion, one that is not always visible to others, and not always easy to admit even to yourself. When so much energy goes into advocating, supporting, and being present for your child, there is often very little left over for your own emotional world.

This group is for parents at any stage of that journey, whether you are newly managing a diagnosis, years into a path you know well, or raising an adult child whose needs continue to shape your daily life. Whatever the age of your child, the emotional experience of this kind of parenting evolves but rarely simplifies.

There can be grief alongside love, grief for the path you imagined, for the struggles your child faces, and for the parts of your own life that have quietly receded. There can also be guilt, comparison, loneliness, and the particular weight of feeling responsible for something that no amount of effort can fully fix. And beneath all of this, a fierce and enduring love that makes every part of it worthwhile, and also harder.

In this group, there is space to bring all of it. The pride and the exhaustion. The tenderness and the frustration. The questions that have no easy answers. Here you will find others who do not need it explained to them, because they are living it too.

This group may be a good fit if you are…

• –Feeling emotionally and practically overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving
• –Struggling with exhaustion, isolation, guilt, advocacy fatigue, or lack of support
• –Navigating systems, relationships, and parenting challenges that others may not fully understand
• –Wanting a space where both your love and your difficulties as a parent can be shared openly
