Into The Light
A 6 week online group for women to build community and transform their inner world through sharing about their experiences of trauma and committing to freeing themselves from trauma’s legacies.
This group was designed specifically for women who have experienced sexual abuse and/or domestic and family violence who are ready to move forward with their lives.
The next group is being facilitated on Monday nights, July 29th 2024 - September 2nd 2024. 6:30pm - 8pm.
Are you seeking connection with other women who have experienced trauma?
Are you seeking growth and transformation beyond what individual counselling can offer you?
Does this sound familiar?
You’ve done individual therapy but you still feel so ALONE in your experiences.
You get WHY you react to your triggers but you want support to act differently -
with support from others who GET IT.
You long to build safe new connections but you struggle to trust people.
Imagine if...
You could be released from the grip of shame.
You knew your true worth and value.
You were confident enough to say no to toxic relationships.
You had a whole new circle of friends who really understood you!
The group includes:
- Proven strategies for managing anxiety and difficult emotions including shame
- My favourite tools for dismantling core beliefs that are damaging your true worth
- Opportunities to share and learn from other women with similar histories
The format:
- 6 x 90 min weekly group meetings.
- Online, so you can join us from anywhere in the world!
- Fully guided and supported by Liz, a qualified mental health clinician.
- Journal prompts: To support you in noticing deep inner shifts and provide a framework that can be adapted and re-used throughout your lifetime.
- Transformation tracker: So that you can keep track of your goals, growth and change during the course
- Affirmation cards: To support you to shift your inner dialogue and create hope and inner spaciousness.
This group is one of the only online group experiences of its kind available in Australia currently. There is significant evidence of the benefits of group work to aid in healing and transformation for trauma survivors.
This is your unique opportunity to take your individual therapy journey to the next level.
After you have completed the group you will:
- Feel connected with other women in a deeper way.
- Have clear tools and strategies for reducing shame and other negative beliefs
- Have developed skills and knowledge about how to build clear effective boundaries to protect your space, time and energy
Testimonies from previous participants:
“...empowering… makes me feel like there are others who want to help me rise. Liz was building us all up together… like a concrete base beneath us”
“Yes I would recommend this group - I already have been!”
“I loved being able to share in a safe environment… there was no judgement”
“I’m so grateful (for this group), it has been so rewarding”
“Liz went above and beyond to make everyone feel included”
This group is perfect for you if you are a woman who has experienced sexual assault, domestic and family violence and/or childhood experiences of abuse or neglect. If you have already had some individual counselling and are emotionally and psychologically prepared to share some of your story and experiences with others, as well as hear other peoples stories and experiences. It’s also for you if you have a support network you can call on if needed throughout the group experience.
This group is probably NOT for you if you have never disclosed to anyone about your trauma experiences. Nor if you find it very distressing and/or triggering to share your own experiences and/or hear other peoples experiences of violence and abuse. It’s also not the right time for you to join us if you are currently socially isolated, using substances to cope with your trauma experiences and/or are not experiencing stable mental health.
If you are keen but uncertain if it’s the right fit - contact me and we can discuss it in more depth - because let’s face it, life is messy and not everyone fits into boxes 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions:
I really want to join but I have a commitment for one week and I might miss a week. Can I still join in?
Absolutely! With permission from the group, the meetings or parts thereof, will be recorded and shared after the group is finished.
Can I use NDIS or Victims Services or other funding to pay for the group?
No. Unfortunately this group is not able to be paid for by insurance schemes.
Can I refer a client?
