There was a point where my mental health hit rock bottom. I was existing, not living, and the loneliest part of it wasn't the struggle itself, it was feeling like no one around me really understood what I was carrying. I didn't want another appointment, another form, another person telling me to 'look after myself'. I wanted to be in a room with people who got it. People who understood without me having to justify or explain, who wouldn't judge, and who made me feel like I wasn't the only one feeling this way.

That need for genuine connection, for a space that felt safe rather than clinical, is exactly why I created these groups. Not therapy. Not a lecture. A real, trauma-informed community where you can turn up exactly as you are, learn tools that actually work with your nervous system rather than against it, and sit alongside people who understand.

That experience is what led me to create two different spaces, because not everyone's breaking point looks the same. For some, it's the everyday overwhelm of stress, anxiety, and life just feeling like too much. For others, it's specifically the confusion and pain of narcissistic abuse and the reasons why leaving is so much harder than people realise, unless you've been through it yourself or are going through it now.
