Group Therapy

ChatGPT Image Feb 14, 2026, 12_05_29 PM.png

​

Thoughtful, trauma-informed group work for adults who want connection without overwhelm.

Alongside individual therapy, I offer structured in-person group therapy designed to support reflection, nervous system regulation, and shared understanding, without pressure to perform, disclose, or “keep up”.

​

Group therapy can be a powerful way to explore patterns in relationship, reduce shame, and feel less alone, while still working within clear boundaries and a contained therapeutic framework.

​

What my groups are like

​

Groups are:

  • trauma-informed and carefully facilitated

  • paced to support nervous system safety

  • structured, with clear boundaries and expectations

  • reflective rather than confrontational

  • supportive without being overwhelming

​

This is not uncontained sharing or open-ended processing. Time, focus, and participation are held intentionally.

​

Who group therapy may suit

​

Group work may be a good fit if you:

  • feel isolated in your struggles and want relational support

  • are curious about your patterns in connection with others

  • want to explore themes such as food, control, shame, or self-criticism

  • are neurodivergent and benefit from predictable structure

  • value depth, reflection, and mutual respect

 

Readiness, capacity, and fit matter more than intensity.

​

Group themes

​

Planned in-person group offerings include:

​

Midlife Eating, Without the Shame - Group Therapy Pilot - see below

​

Beyond Control
A therapy group exploring over-control, self-criticism, perfectionism, and the ways control can develop as a response to anxiety, trauma, or early responsibility.

​

Binge Eating & ADHD
A neurodiversity-affirming group focused on the intersection of binge eating, impulsivity, emotional regulation, and ADHD, with an emphasis on understanding patterns rather than enforcing rules.

​

Exact themes may evolve slightly as groups are shaped and referrals are assessed.

​

Structure and format

​

Groups will be offered as closed, in-person therapy groups held at my Norwich office.

​

Planned structure:

  • 90-minute sessions

  • 8–10 participants maximum

  • 8–10 week duration

  • £80 per session

​

This format supports safety, continuity, and trust within the group.

​

How group therapy fits within my wider work

​

Group therapy may be offered as a standalone piece of work or alongside individual therapy where appropriate.

I don’t run groups continuously. Each group is shaped intentionally, with attention to:

​

  • group composition

  • therapeutic focus

  • pacing and containment

  • sustainability for participants and facilitator

​

This ensures the work remains ethical, supportive, and clinically sound.

​

Timing

​

I’m aiming to begin group therapy in September 2026.

Full details, including dates, referral criteria, and booking information, will be shared in advance once groups are ready to open.

​

Accessibility & travel

​

Group therapy sessions are held in person at my Norwich (NR3) office.

​

The space is chosen to support calm, contained group work and is suitable for people who value a quieter, structured environment.

​

Before joining a group, we’ll check:

  • access needs and sensory considerations

  • travel distance and timing

  • whether the in-person format feels manageable and supportive for you

​

If you have specific accessibility requirements or concerns about travel, these can be discussed as part of the initial conversation so we can consider fit carefully and realistically.

​

Registering interest

​

If you’d like to be notified when group therapy opens for booking, you’re welcome to email:

hello@beckygracetherapy.co.uk 

​

There’s no obligation and no waiting list at this stage, this simply allows me to share information when the next group is ready.

​

​

Future group offerings

​

Alongside process-based therapy groups, I may also offer EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (GTEP) groups in the future, where clinically appropriate.

​

EMDR GTEP is a structured, evidence-based group protocol designed to support the processing of shared or single-incident trauma in a contained and carefully facilitated way.

​

Any EMDR GTEP groups would be:

  • offered in person

  • clearly structured and time-limited

  • preceded by individual screening and preparation

  • offered only when the format feels clinically appropriate and well-supported

​

Details would be shared separately if and when this option becomes available.

​

​

Midlife Eating, Without the Shame – Group Therapy Pilot

 

A small, therapist-led group for adults in midlife who feel stuck in exhausting cycles with food.

​

This 6-week group therapy pilot is designed for adults who have often “held it together” for years, but are now noticing how stress, burnout, life transitions or long-standing coping patterns are impacting their relationship with food, body and energy.

​

Many people in midlife experience eating difficulties that don’t fit neat labels — bingeing, restriction, emotional eating, food overwhelm, or a constant sense of being “out of control” around food. These patterns are not failures of willpower. They are often intelligent survival responses to long-term stress, nervous system overload, trauma, or neurodivergent ways of processing the world.

​

This group offers a compassionate, structured space to understand why these patterns exist, reduce shame, and begin rebuilding trust with food and with yourself.

 

Who this group is for

​

This group may be a good fit if you:

​

  • Are in midlife (typically 35+)

  • Have a long-standing or recurring struggle with food, eating or body trust

  • Feel exhausted by cycles of “trying to fix it”

  • Are high-functioning on the outside but depleted inside

  • May identify as neurodivergent (ADHD, autism, AuDHD) or feel particularly sensitive or overwhelmed

  • Want therapeutic support rather than advice, rules or quick fixes

​

This group is ND-affirming, trauma-informed and designed to feel safe, contained and relational.

​

What we’ll explore together

​

Across six weeks, the group will gently explore:

​

  • How eating patterns develop in response to stress, burnout and nervous system overload

  • The link between emotions, regulation, dopamine and food

  • Body signals, hunger, fullness and sensory experiences

  • The impact of masking, caretaking and midlife exhaustion on eating

  • Moving away from all-or-nothing approaches towards sustainable, flexible support

​

Each session combines therapeutic guidance, shared reflection and space for personal integration.

 

Practical details

​

  • Format: Small in-person therapy group (Norwich) - NR3 - Sackville Place

  • Duration: 6 weeks - 90 min sessions - Saturdays 9am - Starts Sat 18th April 2026

  • Group size: Limited places to support safety and depth (no more than 7)

  • Price: £395 for the 6 weeks (works out at £56 per week) 

  • Facilitator: Becky Grace Irwing – BABCP-accredited CBT & EMDR therapist, specialising in eating disorders, neurodiversity and complex trauma

​

Places are intentionally limited, and all participants will complete a brief screening process to ensure the group is appropriate and supportive.
