The support group for women who get it. This is a space for those diagnosed with, suspect they have, or are undergoing investigations for conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS and PMDD. We come together each month to talk about our experiences, learn from each other, but most of all, to know that we are not alone in our experiences, and that others do understand what we're going through. Groups take place both online so everyone across the country can join, and in person in the Bristol area

Trauma-informed yoga offers a gentle, supportive space prioritising emotional/physical safety. Unlike traditional yoga, it emphasises choice, agency, and body awareness rather than achieving movements. There is no “right/wrong” way—clients are encouraged to listen to their bodies and honour personal boundaries. No prior yoga experience is required, and there will be no physical touch or adjustments. Wear whatever feels comfortable. Sessions run in six-week blocks within a closed group of no more than eight clients, ensuring an intimate, supportive environment. This practice supports nervous system regulation, fosters reconnection, and nurtures safety and empowerment for personal healing.

When a man becomes a father, a new identity awakens within him. For many, this marks not an arrival, but the beginning of a profound journey. As the relationship deepens, so do the challenges: moments of doubt, unexpected fears. The child becomes a mirror reflecting back not only strengths, but unhealed wounds and limitations. Yet within this reflection lies an invitation — to grow, to see life anew. Each time we meet these challenges, something valuable emerges: a fresh perception of life, a deeper maturity. And perhaps most precious of all — the opportunity to build one of the deepest relationships possible.

The rationale of group EMDR is similar to use for survivors of terrorism. Survivors of Sex/Porn/Love addiction disclosure, want to be seen as survivors. Allow them to be seen, noticed and helped. Enabled to undermine Shame ("hiddenness") - to be open (without being judged), whilst coping with victimisation, consequences, isolation, alienation, diminished feelings & hopelessness from the trauma. Group therapy works for terrorism survivors. Female partners are even more vulnerable to being & feeling ostracised, blamed & judged by the larger society, for their predicament. Bonding, support & "Coming out" of hiding is offered - with friendships from similar others, toward rebuilding trust.

Adults Support Groups
Why should adults see a therapist?
Adults may benefit from therapy for a wide range of reasons—whether it’s managing symptoms of a diagnosed mental health condition like anxiety or depression, navigating life transitions, coping with grief or trauma, or simply seeking support during a challenging life period. Many adults find that therapy helps them build healthier coping skills and better process their emotions, which may lead to better relationships and reduced stress. It’s important to note that, unlike psychiatrists or primary care physicians, therapists do not prescribe psychiatric medication. However, they will often work alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care and can provide behavioural therapy as an important addition to psychiatric medication. Mental health concerns can look different in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence, so finding a therapist with expertise working with adult clients is important. Conditions like major depressive disorder (MDD), generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for instance, may present or resurface differently in adulthood than in childhood or adolescence. Adult-specific stressors, such as job strain, caregiving responsibilities, relationship challenges, financial stress, or identity transitions, can also influence the onset and type of symptoms an individual experiences. Adult-focused therapists, therefore, are trained to understand these complexities and tailor care accordingly.
How do I know if a therapist is the right fit for me?
When seeking care, it’s important to understand a therapist’s treatment specialties and their overall approach to treatment . Some therapists focus on common adult conditions like anxiety or depression, while others specialize in areas such as trauma, substance use disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder. It’s also important to consider a therapist’s training when seeking care. Therapists in the UK hold various credentials depending on their training and regional requirements. Counsellors and Psychotherapists registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) receive the designation MBACP and their qualifications and practice are overseen by BACP. Many Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society receive the title of Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), signifying that they have completed postgraduate training and supervised practice. All of these professionals can provide talk therapy but do not prescribe medication. When searching for a therapist, consider their credentials and training background to ensure a good fit.
How do I find a therapist who sees adults?
Psychology Today’s online directory allows you to search specifically for therapists who work with adults. Each provider profile includes key information such as clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, licensure, accepted insurance plans, languages spoken, and session fees. Reviewing these details can help you determine whether a particular provider aligns with your needs and can indicate whether they are a good match for adult clients.
