The Cycle Breaker Group
A 6-week therapeutic support group for mums parenting while healing from emotionally immature parents.
You’re raising a child while reparenting yourself.
Some days, that feels powerful.
Other days, it feels like you’re drowning.
You’re trying to do things differently.
To stay calm when your child cries.
To set boundaries with your own parents - even when they push back.
To meet your child’s emotional needs when yours were never met.
This is brave work.
But it’s not meant to be done alone.
This group is for you if:
You’re a mum of a child aged 0–11
You grew up with an emotionally immature, narcissistic, absent or unpredictable parent
You’re trying to parent consciously - but it’s exhausting
You feel torn between being a ‘good daughter’ and a present mum
You’re grieving what you didn’t get, while trying to give your child everything
If you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t want my child to have a childhood like mine.”
This is the group for you.
If you’ve ever thought:
"Why is this so hard for me when everyone else seems to cope?"
You're not broken.
You're breaking a cycle.
What to Expect
Each week, you’ll join a small group of like-minded mums for an evening of gentle support and reflection. Sessions include:
A short teaching segment (10–15 mins) to help you understand the emotional impact of EIP parenting
Therapeutic group sharing where your story will be held - not fixed, rushed or judged
Reflection prompts to help you process between sessions
We’ll explore themes like:
Why parenting feels so triggering when your own needs weren’t met
Boundaries, guilt and grandparent dynamics
What grief looks like when you’re parenting differently
Self-compassion, identity, and emotional safety as a parent
This is a supportive space - not group therapy, not coaching - where you can feel seen and supported while navigating one of the most complex emotional tasks: parenting without a map.

Why I’m Leading This Group
Hi, I’m Amy!
I’m a qualified psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and the founder of Smart Therapy Ltd - but more than that, I’ve spent years supporting women who are navigating something quietly monumental: parenting their children while healing from the way they were parented themselves.
Again and again, I’ve sat with mothers who are doing everything they can to be conscious, present, and emotionally available - all while carrying wounds that were never acknowledged in their own childhoods.
This group was born from those conversations. From the pain, the guilt, the courage, and the deep desire to do things differently. I created this space to offer what so many of my clients have longed for: a room full of people who get it. Who won’t ask you to explain why it’s hard. Who know what it means to parent without a map.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to show up - and I’ll be right there with you.
You don’t have to do this alone.
You’re not too sensitive.
You’re not overreacting.
You’re not failing.
You’re parenting through a lens that most people don’t understand - but we do.
This group is your space to be held, supported, and reminded: you are not the problem.

Spaces are limited to keep the group intimate and safe.
Let’s break the cycle - together.
