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.
