Weekly · online · maximum ten men

A room where you don't have to explain yourself.

A weekly group for adult men who experienced childhood sexual abuse. Nobody tells their story to the room. It is simply the one place in the week where the thing does not need explaining before the conversation can start.

Why a group at all

Most men who experienced this have never met another man who did. That is not a small thing. A lot of the weight comes from believing you are the only one, or close to it, and that belief does not shift through reading. It shifts by sitting in a room with other men and recognising yourself in what they say.

One-to-one coaching does things a group cannot. A group does things one-to-one cannot. The particular thing it does is end the isolation, which for a lot of men is the part that has done the most damage over the longest time.

You do not have to be articulate about any of it. Several men in any group are there mainly to listen, and that is a legitimate way to use it.

How it is set up

You are never asked to describe what happened

No one tells their story to the room. The group is about how life is now, not an account of the past. Nobody is put on the spot and nobody has to speak at all.

Ten men, maximum

Small enough that nobody disappears and everybody gets time. It stays closed at ten, so the room is the same room week to week.

Ninety minutes, same time every week

Online, camera on or off, from wherever you are. Predictability matters more than intensity in a group like this.

What a session looks like

  • We open with a short check-in. One or two sentences, or pass.
  • A theme for the week, drawn from the same ground the coaching covers: trust, shame, anger, relationships, fatherhood, work.
  • Open conversation, facilitated, so it stays useful and nobody carries the room.
  • A close, so nobody leaves mid-thought.

It is facilitated throughout, which means it does not become a competition in who has had it worst, nobody gets talked over, and nobody leaves carrying something they arrived without.

The group

£50

per person, per week

Ninety minutes, weekly, online. No joining fee, no minimum term and no contract. Maximum ten men, and the group stays closed at that.

It starts with a free 30-minute conversation, not a payment. That is not an interview and there is nothing to pass.

This is facilitated peer support, not therapy, group therapy or clinical treatment, and it does not replace either. It is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger in the UK, contact Samaritans on 116 123 or call 999. Outside the UK, use your local emergency number.
