What this programme is
A small, closed, 12-session group programme for women in the second half of life. Co-facilitated by Dr Alla Demutska (Clinical Psychologist, 15+ years experience) and Dr Yvonne Sum (Leadership Trainer). Live online sessions, weekly, for three months.
Includes ongoing access to the programme materials and Dr Alla's mini-courses (video teachings, audio practices, and PDF workbooks) throughout the programme and for three months after the final session.
A small note before you pay
This is psychoeducational group work, not individual therapy or crisis care. If you are currently in an acute or critical state - for example, in active treatment for an eating disorder, navigating an unsafe relationship, or in a recent crisis - the group is not the right setting at this time and we ask that you do not pay the deposit. Being in individual therapy alongside the group is fine and often supportive. You are welcome to apply again when your circumstances change.
