Partners Support Group (Women Only)
Fortnightly online support for partners affected by sex and porn addiction
If you’re dealing with the impact of a partner’s behaviour, it can feel incredibly isolating.
Many people tell us they don’t know who they can talk to, or worry they won’t be understood. You may be holding a lot on your own, trying to make sense of what’s happened, how you feel, and what to do next.
You don’t need to have the words for it yet.
This group offers a space where you can come as you are and be supported to take things one step at a time.
A space where you don’t have to hold it all on your own
This is a calm, confidential space designed to support you through what can often feel overwhelming and disorientating.
- Support without judgement
Share as much or as little as feels right. There is no pressure to speak or explain everything. - Gently guided sessions
Each group is facilitated by an experienced betrayal trauma counsellor who helps keep the space safe, steady, and containing. - Connection with others who understand
Being alongside people who have faced similar experiences can reduce isolation and help things feel more manageable. - Making sense of what’s happening
Over time, many people find they gain clarity, feel more grounded, and begin to reconnect with their own needs and boundaries. - A steadier place to land
The group can help settle intense emotions so things begin to feel more manageable again. - At your own pace
Whether you’re in shock, feeling unsure, or further along in your process, you are welcome.
How the group works
We aim to keep the group simple and accessible.
- Fortnightly online sessions
- Saturdays, 10:00am – 11:30am
- Join from home via a secure, confidential link
- 90-minute sessions
- A balance of gentle structure and space to share
- Free to attend
You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Many people join feeling unsure or overwhelmed, and that’s completely okay. You’ll be welcomed into the space and can take things at your own pace.
What this group is (and isn’t)
This group is not about fixing your relationship or telling you what to do.
It is about:
- helping you feel less alone
- supporting you to process what you’re going through
- giving you space to think more clearly about what you need
You don’t need to have made any decisions to attend.
Can my partner really be addicted to sex?
It’s a question many people ask.
You might have noticed that your partner:
- has tried to stop but hasn’t been able to
- continues despite the impact on your relationship
- has patterns that have escalated over time
If so, it may suggest an unhealthy relationship with sex or pornography that could benefit from professional support.
Whatever is going on for your partner, this is not your fault.
If you’re looking for more focused support
Alongside the group, we offer small, in-person betrayal trauma workshops at our Henley-on-Thames centre.
These provide a more structured and contained space to:
- explore the impact of betrayal
- rebuild your sense of self
- begin to move forward
Many people attend both, using the group for ongoing support and the workshop for deeper, guided work.
Looking for a Different Kind of Support?
This group is specifically for women affected by a partner's compulsive sexual behaviours or problematic pornography use.
If you're looking for support following infidelity, an emotional affair, or another significant breach of trust, our Healing After Betrayal Support Group may be a better fit. It's a free, therapist-led online group open to adults of all genders, offering a safe space to connect with others and begin healing after relationship betrayal. You are also welcome to attend both groups if you feel they would benefit you.

What You Can Expect
The group offers a calm, supportive space where you can begin to process what you’re going through, without pressure or expectation. Sessions are gently guided, with a balance of structure and space, allowing you to share if and when you feel ready.
You don’t need to have the right words or a clear understanding of what’s happening. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed, and part of the process is simply having somewhere safe to begin. Our group offers:
