Hi all! New offer- Retreat for Mothers coping with Parental Estrangement. Coming in early 2027. Contact me for details, costings, and consultation. Same great team and venues in Spain or Wales, UK. Please read my offer of a FREE remote support group also below:

Parental UK & Global Estrangement Group
Why: According to benchmark research commissioned by the UK charity Stand Alone, roughly 27% of the British public know someone who has cut contact with a family member. Approximately 1 in 5 British families are directly impacted by estrangement. A recent US study found that roughly 10% of US mothers are estranged from an adult child, and that one in five parents in the US are estranged from their adult child. Experts believe this is a growing trend, based on micro (modern familial patterns) and macro levels (changing society, social media influence and generational changes).
Who: I, Nancy Southcott, am an EMDR and integrative psychotherapist with 30 years of experience in the US and UK. I live near Bristol, UK, and am looking to facilitate a healing, compassionate, and supportive group focused on parental estrangement. I am also a mother to an Estranged Son, who has stopped my contact with my grandchild.
What: I would like to invite local estranged parents near my postcode (BS20 6NQ) in the UK to join this group. Additionally, I am gathering interest in a “remote” support group via Zoom, with global capacity in the English-speaking world. I have lived experience, and can hold space for anyone interested. I can help to provide some psycho-education in the sessions, and the psychological foundations of these familial issues, due to my history of working in Family Therapy.
How & When: Remote and in-person monthly support groups. Please contact me via the business email below. I am proposing Wednesday evenings in the GMT zone at 7:30 pm. The in-person group will be capped at 8-10 parents. There will be an initial consultation to join the group. Please feel free to read about me via Psychology Today, www.northsomersetmindfultherapy.com or www.retreats-4u.com, for whom I am the owner/director.

Featured today in Angela Kingdon's podcast for the "Late Diagnosis Club". Learn about my journey with ADHD, undiagnosed until recently, being an EMDR & integrative psychotherapist, and my experience of work-related trauma & burnout. The community Angela has developed was welcoming and neuro-affirming. I was privileged to be invited and take part in this interactive podcast. Neurodivergence needs better understanding, compassion and encouragement to be authentically "you". PTSD alongside ASD/ADHD/Audhd. Having neurodivergence with trauma can make things feel more complex, and oftentimes clients feel so overwhelmed cannot tell which is ND traits or PTSD symptoms. There is always help out there.
