At Innisfree Therapy, our group therapy approach focuses on the present moment, exploring what unfolds within the group as a reflection of patterns that emerge in everyday life.

Rooted in Irvin Yalom’s Interpersonal Group Psychotherapy, our sessions provide a safe and dynamic space where clients learn not only about others but also about themselves.

Through this process, members develop awareness of how they connect, relate, and are perceived — insight that becomes a catalyst for real and lasting change.

Group work offers:
• Relief from isolation and shame
• Shared understanding and accountability
• Honest, supportive relationships
• A chance to practise new ways of being

We run specialised groups for men and women affected by s*x or p**n addiction (CSB), and for partners through our dedicated Partner Programmes.

We understand that it can feel daunting to join a group. However, many discover that being witnessed and witnessing others are among the most powerful aspects of recovery.

How do you handle stress?

Chronic stress keeps the body in survival mode, flooding the system with cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, it affects sleep, focus, hormones, and emotional regulation.

This Stress Awareness Week, Innisfree Therapy Ltd wants to remind you to take care of yourself before stress turns into burnout.

We help our clients understand how the nervous system holds tension and how trauma can intensify stress responses. Through therapy, regulation work, and somatic awareness, our clients learn how to move from endurance to recovery.

Whether it's life changes and challenges, work or school pressure, relationship issues, or financial problems, stress is a part of our daily lives.

Stress isn't unique, but it doesn’t have to leave you feeling so stressed out.

S*x addiction is a painful cycle of compulsion and secrecy.

Breaking free requires more than willpower — it requires specialist support.

Our team works with the roots of s*x addiction, helping clients face their compulsions with compassion as they work to build healthier, more authentic relationships with themselves and others.

Who is there for you when something bad happens?

If the people you depend on aren't available—or worse, they reject you—what do you do?

For many trauma survivors, shutting down and tuning out is the easiest form of protection. Numbing with substances is a comfortable coping skill. Disassociation becomes second nature.

Talk therapy can help with depression, addiction and anxiety, but to ultimately heal, the body needs to release the associated emotions.

At Innisfree Therapy, we understand that trauma lives in the body long after the traumatic incident. Our team offers specialist trauma models, including EMDR and somatic therapies, to help clients process trauma at every level — mind, body, and nervous system.

Do you wear stress like a badge of honour? At what cost?

For many high-performing professionals, the long hours, constant availability, unrelenting performance standards, and working on weekends are essential to creating value.

But behind the façade of "success" is trauma-driven perfectionism, OCD traits, or a reliance on alcohol and stimulants or other substances to cope.

Eventually, exhaustion and burnout take over. After all, no one can hold it all together forever.

Sound familiar? Keen for some real change?

If you’re ready to untangle these patterns and start a healthy work-life balance, it's time to contact Innisfree Therapy.

The stressful parts of life will always be there, but we’re here to help you find new ways to cope.

Does love feel like a survival sport?

For those living with love addiction or codependency, love can feel like a cycle of chasing, over-giving, or fearing abandonment rather than mutual connection.

These patterns are not weaknesses but often the legacy of childhood attachment trauma.

Our latest blog explores why love can feel like a lifeline and how Innisfree Therapy helps clients move from compulsive relating to healthier, more grounded connections.

Love addiction and codependency often stem from childhood attachment trauma. Learn how therapy helps you heal and build secure, fulfilling relationships.

When your compulsions take over, it can feel like the intrusive thoughts will never stop.

For many high-performing professionals, the crippling effects of compulsive behaviours hide behind perfectionism, high standards, and the constant pressure to deliver.

However, the truth is that compulsive behaviours disrupt daily life, work life, and relationships.

With a team of highly skilled trauma therapists, Innisfree Therapy works with compulsive behaviours at the root, helping clients move beyond their compulsions to build calmer, more balanced lives.

The menopause is having a moment, and it’s about time. Millions go through it, but too few understand it—including medical professionals.

Women’s midlife mental health is incredibly complex and wildly misunderstood. As a result, uninformed doctors often misdiagnose symptoms of perimenopause and the menopause as depression or anxiety, leaving many women feeling confused about what is really happening.

At Innisfree Therapy, we're breaking the silence surrounding the menopause and creating a safe space to talk about midlife health.
