When the relationship with a mother is painful, distant or broken down, it can bring a unique kind of grief. These sessions offer a space where you don’t have to explain or justify yourself and where your experience is recognised and taken seriously.
What these sessions offer
Each drop-in is a one-hour, free facilitated session with a theme relevant to estrangement, such as boundaries, guilt, grief, identity or building supportive relationships. Drop-ins are facilitated by Helen Catterall, a (MBACP) qualified Person-Centred Counsellor with a background in adult education and training. You can read more about Helen below.
You can expect:
* a short psychoeducation piece to introduce the theme
* small-group breakout conversations with prompts to guide reflection and sharing
* a whole-group space to come back together, gain insight and feel supported.
There’s no expectation to share more than feels comfortable. Listening is participation too.
