This twice weekly group is especially helpful for understanding how you block yourself in relation to others or how you get into difficulties due to lack of confidence or low self esteem. We all find relationships complex and confusing at times. The group provides a safe place to build confidence and talk about your struggles with others. We consider the past and present - how you have been impacted by your past experiences as well as how you experience being in relationships now. I am LGBTQI friendly and seek to make the group accessible to all.

From May 2026, I’ll be running a 6-week ONLINE therapeutic support group for men navigating relationship, intimacy, and identity changes during their partner’s perimenopause. This is a closed group with the same members each week and is not about fixing or managing your partner. It’s about understanding change and responding with clarity and care.

This once weekly group is meets for 90 minutes with up to eight clients plus the therapist. It has been meeting for over eight years. The immediate effect of group therapy is to increase your self confidence and self esteem. Having a group you belong to where you can open up about your worries, concerns or problems is a huge relief - especially when you realise that you are not alone and others share similar issues. We all find relationships difficult at times and a group is a place to find out why you block yourself and get stuck.

While focusing on losing someone through death, looking at bereavement is an opportunity to examine or think about any losses you have experienced. Talking to others about your loss can help you face challenges and move you towards rebuilding your life. This group offers you listening ears and helpful encouragement, camaraderie, and guidance in working through grief. When we share our stories with others, our grief is lessened. If after being bereaved you experience confusion, isolation, loneliness, and other emotions related to loss and have many questions about things you’ve never faced before. Come to this platform.
