New Recovery Groups for Women Betrayed by Partners' Sex/Porn Addiction: Starting online in April 2025
Using porn/chat rooms/web cams, compulsively, is part of sex addiction. Some men will deny this, clinging to the Clinton stance of, 'I have never had sex with any other woman & therefore I haven't cheated' excuse. For the purpose of easy explanation, I will refer to Women as being betrayed and men as cheaters. I acknowledge that not everybody with sex addiction is Male. Unfortunately few women come forward for help.

When working with couples battling the pain of Sex addiction betrayal, many women believe, 'if my partner gets better, I will get better too'. Sadly this is not what happens. Partner's experience trauma from wounds inflicted on them, by the person they love most in the world. You need new knowledge, relaxing skills, emotional support & connection to others like you. This gives a much greater opportunity to, healing through surviving to thriving. Not having help, can take as long as 10 years to be able to put it behind you.
Some women will be angry & resentful at the thought of their individual work, e.g. why should I spend the time and money on Therapeutic work, there is nothing wrong with me? You need recovery for your own good mental health & wellbeing. Even if you end your relationship, but hope to have one in the future, you need to heal those wounds, or they will negatively impact on that new relationship. Men that just stop compulsive behaviour, although that is a great achievement, is not enough for their beneficial lasting change. Partner's stopping e.g. panic, anger, questioning, suspicion, (although experiencing these after betrayal is normal), will eventually be stuck, this is not enough for your good mental health & wellbeing.
Group work is an amazing healing experience. The first group to run will be The Nurture Nest. This is a drop-in/support group. I will contact each woman who wants to join the group, prior to signing up, to check that this is the right group for them. The power of the group is magnified by all you wonderful women. When I reflect on what helps men & women recover, self-development group work, is one of the most important, effective & fulfilling elements needed. I shall guide you through your recovery, with years of experience, understanding, kindness & compassion. Women that would like to be part of this valuable group, please email me and I shall add you to the list I am compiling. Also Please email me if you want to ask any questions at all about this group, or to express any concerns about becoming a member.
Psychotherapists' Bio
I started my career as a Nurse and when my daughter was young, I took a break and retrained as a Psychosexual Therapist, A Relationship Therapist and Sex addiction Therapist as well as other trainings. I have worked for Relate, Relationships Scotland, Newcastle university & Headstrong Counselling as a Supervisor. I have also worked in Private Practice at the same time as being employed over these years. All my work is in Private Practice now.
I know the pain of betrayal. The emotional overwhelm, unable to think clearly, unable to decide to stay or go. The anger, panic, fear, disgust, hatred, revenge fantasies, towards the man who you have trusted with your life. Confusion kicks in when you realise you still want comfort from him. Not knowing where or who to turn to. In the group we calm it all down, focus on the here & now, really listen to each other with kindness & take sure steps away, from the pain & chaos we feel, towards recovery freedom.
Women are wonderful & together you can enhance & benifit from the immense healing power of the group. Its in the connection to others we gain clarity, acceptance and feel understood. Where there is understanding, there can be healing. Where there is healing, there can be freedom from the chains that bind us.
