Finding Your Ground

For adults navigating emotional overwhelm, overthinking, people-pleasing, and difficulty staying connected to their own needs.

You may have become very good at adapting, coping, reading the room, or meeting other people’s expectations.

From the outside, you may seem capable. Inside, you may feel overwhelmed, uncertain, disconnected from yourself, or unsure where your own needs fit.

Finding Your Ground offers space to slow down, notice familiar patterns, and begin developing a steadier relationship with yourself.

This space is designed for reflection, not performance.

This May Be For You If…

You often find yourself:

  • Overthinking or replaying conversations

  • Feeling responsible for how other people feel

  • Saying yes when you want to say no

  • Struggling to identify your own needs

  • Feeling guilty when you set boundaries

  • Being hard on yourself even when you are trying your best

  • Feeling emotionally tired, but unsure how to explain why

3. Deepening Group

Staying With Yourself

An eight-week, process-oriented counselling group for adults who want to explore how self-abandonment, approval-seeking, emotional protection, and relational patterns show up in their everyday lives and relationships.

Alongside reflecting on experiences outside the group, we may also gently notice what happens in the present moment between group members. This can offer opportunities to practice expressing needs, tolerating difference, receiving feedback, and staying connected to yourself while relating to others.

This group may explore:

  • How you respond when others seem disappointed, distant, or unavailable

  • Difficulty naming and expressing anger, preference, boundaries, or need

  • Seeking reassurance, approval, or permission from others

  • Shame or fear around taking up space

  • Emotional protection and patterns of withdrawing or over-adapting

  • Practicing more authentic and mutual connection within the group

  • Developing a steadier internal sense of self

Format: Eight-week closed process group

Group size: 4–6 participants

Length: 90 minutes weekly

Fee: $120 per session / $960 for the full cycle

Sliding scale: A limited number of spaces may be available

Pre-group assessment: A 50-minute individual assessment and preparation session is required before joining. Fee: $150.
This session allows us to discuss your goals, readiness for process-oriented group work, previous counselling or group experience, and whether the group is likely to offer an appropriate level of support at this time.
