How many times in your life as a women have you held yourself back, got in your own way because of feeling somehow not good enough? How often have you put your own needs at the bottom of the list of your priorities, professionally or personally and got bogged down with seeking the approval of others at your own expense? I’ve lost count of how many times that’s happened in my past!

I work with mostly women in my therapy room for whom this story holds true irrespective of age. And yet, as a woman in mid life, no longer willing to give into these old patterns, how many times have my close relationships with women friends, challenged me to be different and become more of who I really am? My close girl friends are like gold dust and I would not be who I’ve become today without them. That’s the power that I want for you to tap into.

That’s what a women’s circle is all about. Doing what women do naturally and easily. Coming together to support, listen , care and nurture each other so we can find a stronger foothold in the world and work out what being the unique individual we are, looks and feels like in our lives.

There are a 1001 topics we could cover and we will shape the direction we take together, but as a starter for 10, these are the kind of topics might we explore:

• Why people pleasing can be a gift and a curse.
• Setting boundaries- what does this mean and how do we do it?
• Managing conflict professionally and personally
• How do I use my values, whats important to me, as a guide to living my best life?
• What does being true to myself actually mean and is it even possible?

Irrespective of how old you are, (I’ve learnt as much from my daughters as I have from my mother and grandmother), if you think being a member of a women’s circle would be something that might interest you, please do get in touch. I don’t have a fixed view of when,where and how we would meet at this stage I’m just interested in getting going and with your input we can shape something with a loose structure that works for everyone in the room.

If you are interested in becoming part of my circle, or just have some questions to see if there is a good fit for you in what I am proposing, please do get in touch. I’ll look forward to hearing from you.
