Life can sometimes be challenging, and you don’t have to face it alone. Valuing connection and community, I have designed a space for you to gain specifically for that. If you’re looking for a space to connect, explore, and be held while sharing, the 5-week Women’s Group might be the perfect fit for you.
This closed Women's Group allows you to gather and share what is happening for you through a semi structured space. Offering insight and strategies from a Mental Health Social Worker to support you and promote your wellbeing. This group space can be particularly meaningful for women seeking to co-create a safe space where they can explore their experiences and further understand the context of being a woman.
What to expect:
In each session, I will guide you through reflective conversations about your experiences, helping you gain insights and make meaningful connections. Sessions will be held in a group space that has dimmed lighting, optional seating (chair, cushions, or floor), sensory toys and relaxing scents and items. Sessions may involve specific activities, strategies, or themes based on what is coming up for the group as a collective. You’ll have the chance to reflect throughout the session, with time after for informal connection and conversations.
You can show up exactly as you are. I encourage comfort and for you to bring anything along with you that supports this. I will provide tea and coffee as well as small selection of snacks.

How it works
The Women’s Group provides a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for women to explore personal challenges and their inner world, share experiences, and build connections with other women.
Sessions may include open discussions, structured exercises, mindfulness practices, and psychoeducational components. Group members support one another through shared understanding, empathy, and encouragement, promoting personal growth and fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Do I need to have a goal to work on?
Absolutely not! This is designed differently to individual therapy, and you do not need to have a goal to work on. It is a space that is flexible, and you can show up exactly as you are with whatever has come up for you that week. However, you are more than welcome to have a goal if that feels supportive for you.

Group Numbers:
With all of my groups, a lot of intention, thought, and preparation goes into them. The sustainability of running these for me is also very important, this allows me to work in a way that is mother centered. This being said, The Women’s Group will only go ahead if 4 or more women book a spot. If less than 4 spots are booked, I will postpone the group, you will receive a full refund and an invitation to the next group.
Refunds:
Refunds are available up to 2 weeks prior to the group running.
As this is a closed group, The cost is for the package. I encourage you to attend all 5 weeks as there are no refunds for missed weeks.
