What is a Circle?
In a nutshell, a Circle is a group which comes together to share and to offer each other our presence, time and attentive listening.
It’s a gentle slowed down space, perhaps something of an oasis in an otherwise hectic life, where the aim is to witness each other without offering solutions or advice.
What makes a Circle unique?
Circles are deeply therapeutic.
I bring 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist but the added dimension is in the shared "holding" between and amongst Circle participants.
There are no shoulds, no “fixing”, no strategies, no techniques ..
It's a space to be seen and heard as you are without agenda.
Why choose a Circle?
For many people circles become a place where they can step outside the pressures of everyday life and spend time in a space that values presence, curiosity and respect.
It's an opportunity to pause and connect with yourself and your life in a more intentional way.
A Circle can also become a place where you feel less alone in your experiences.
*Note* My Circles are open to people of all genders and none. They are LGBTQIA+ and neurodiversity affirming spaces.
How Circles Work
Each circle is facilitated carefully to create a compassionate and respectful environment.
This means:
-
a small group size
-
clear boundaries around confidentiality
-
space for each person to share if and how they wish
-
no pressure to participate in any way that feels uncomfortable
The emphasis is on listening, reflection, and respectful dialogue.
Circles often involve moments of quiet reflection, thoughtful conversation, and opportunities to notice what arises in the group.
Circles as Part of Therapeutic Practice
The circles I facilitate are influenced by my background in psychotherapy, relational practice, and trauma-aware work.
While they are not a replacement for individual therapy, they can complement personal therapeutic work by offering a collective space where reflection and dialogue unfold in community.
