A group space for South Asian women navigating family expectation, cultural silence, and the pressure to hold everything together. Many of us learned early that vulnerability reads as failure, measured against izzat and family reputation. This group offers a different experience: being witnessed by other South Asian women who understand that pressure without needing it explained. Using a Transactional Analysis approach, we work with patterns formed in family and community, and practice new ways of relating in real time. I am a trainee therapist working under clinical supervision. Sessions are recorded with consent for supervision purposes, with full confidentiality maintained.

A breakup often leaves us grappling with the agonising pain of loss and loneliness. It can stir up deep fears of being unlovable or inadequate. The emotional impact can be so profound that it disrupts our sense of identity, leaving us disoriented and grieving. Moving forward often feels impossible. The brain gets caught in a ‘grief loop’ – continuously revisiting memories and feelings about the relationship. The support group offers a structured 14-step journey toward healing. Using exercises grounded in neuroscience and attachment theory, you will gain practical tools to soothe your nervous system and navigate your way towards freedom.

This is a slow open group with people with a variety of difficulties. This way we explore and learn to cope with difference in our selves and in society. The group has no agenda. The group members speak what is on their mind as long as it is not violent or destructive so that we can explore our relationships with each other and with the individuals own self in order to obtain therapeutic change. After some sessions it begins to feel like a group of friends meeting to help each other.

Women's Issues Support Groups
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
