For seasons in life where things feel harder than they look from the outside
You might be trying to process something that happened years ago but is still sitting heavily in your body. You might be in the middle of a relationship that feels confusing or painful. You might be carrying grief, financial stress, health worries, or a sense of being overwhelmed and not quite yourself. You may simply know that you need more support than you currently have.
Our By Your Side support plan offers three months of continuous, relational support through whatever you are dealing with.
We listen carefully, we reflect honestly, and we stay present without judgment, while you make sense of what is happening in your world. Women often tell us that they do not have enough space to unravel their thoughts properly. Friends may mean well but bring their own opinions. Professionals may be time limited or outcome focused. By Your Side was created to offer something steadier and more spacious - a place where you do not have to perform resilience, or justify why something feels difficult.
You may be moving through menopause, changing careers, ending a relationship, beginning something new, or simply wanted to feel more centred in yourself. All of it belongs here, and all of you is welcome.
Over three months, we support women with experiences such as:
processing past experiences
trauma and its ongoing impact
grief, loss and bereavement
financial worries and practical stress
health concerns
friendship, family and partnership conflict
transitions around work or education
confidence and identity shifts
making sense of the past and planning for the future
feeling overwhelmed, unappreciated, invisible, too much or not enough
This is not counselling or therapy. We do not diagnose, treat, analyse or direct. We will not tell you what to do. What we do is hold space, and what we offer is presence and thoughtful listening, alongside gentle reflection when it feels helpful. We trust that you are the only expert on your own life, and our role is to support you to hear yourself more clearly and to make decisions that are genuinely yours.
Some women use this support to prepare for something that is coming, while others reach out in the thick of it. Some come after something has happened and they are ready to look back at it with someone understanding right beside them. Often it is a combination of all three. It's okay if you start the support package with one thing in mind and along the way other things come up. Nothing is too small or too complex to bring to us. If it matters to you, it matters.
How it works
Our By Your Side offering combines our Holding Space service with ongoing contact by email, text and WhatsApp over a three month period.
After some initial contact by email, we would agree together what your support might look like.
This may include;
- a private WhatsApp group so you can reach out when something arises, meaning you always have a space to talk
- regular sessions, either face to face at drop-ins or via Zoom
- support preparing for conversations, appointments or decisions
- help sourcing relevant information so you can make informed choices
- access to our resource library
- follow-up emails to help us track what you are working through
- a considered ending process so support does not stop abruptly
This is continuous support rather than a fixed number of sessions. The intention is that you are not left alone between appointments while life continues to move. You will feel fully held by us as you navigate your challenges.
How much does it cost?
The cost of this By Your Side support plan is £600 for three months. This reflects sustained access to a small, experienced team and the depth of commitment involved in offering ongoing, holistic support.
We are a Community Interest Company which means we can offer payment plans, and/or partial or full fee reductions where circumstances make this necessary. If cost feels like a barrier, please don't hesitate to ask us about funding when you contact us.
We also offer gift cards in various amounts for those who would like to gift meaningful support to a woman in their life.
