Working with Childhood Emotional Neglect

Feeling isolated in private practice? You’re not alone.

As therapists, we hold space for others every day, yet so often find ourselves without a space of our own, somewhere to reflect, connect and be truly understood. It can feel lonely, even when our work is deeply meaningful.

That’s why I created The Reflective Book Club for Therapists, a warm, confidential space where counsellors and psychotherapists can come together to explore the themes and points of personal reflection in the book we are reading.

In this group we will work with “Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parents” by Lindsay Gibson. Through shared discussion, reflection and gentle facilitation, we’ll unpack how these ideas show up in our client work and in ourselves, all within a safe, supportive community of peers.

What to Expect

Each month, we’ll gather online in a small, supportive group to read and reflect on the book. You’ll have the chance to share insights, ask questions, and explore how the themes of childhood emotional neglect show up in your client work and in yourself as a practitioner.

As a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor, I’ll gently facilitate our discussions so that everyone feels heard, valued, and safe. This is not a supervision group, but it is a space for professional reflection, connection, and growth.

You’ll leave each session feeling lighter, more inspired, and better equipped to support your clients, and yourself, with compassion and clarity.

How It Works

We’ll meet once a month online for a 90-minute facilitated discussion. Before each session, you’ll read the agreed chapter or section of the book. During our meetings, we’ll reflect together on the key ideas, share insights, and explore how they connect to our client work and personal growth as practitioners.

You’ll get:

• A safe, confidential space to reflect and connect with fellow therapists where you can share insights, ask questions, and connect with others on the same journey.
• Thoughtful facilitation from an experienced psychotherapist and clinical supervisor
• Access to a supportive community that understands the realities of therapeutic work
• A guided reading plan so you know exactly what to focus on each month without feeling overwhelmed.
• Reflection prompts to help you go deeper between sessions.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of emotional neglect, find connection within the profession, or simply enjoy meaningful professional reflection, this group offers a gentle, inspiring space to do just that.

So if you’ve been craving connection, reflection, and a sense of belonging in your professional life, this is your invitation to join a small circle of like-minded therapists. 

Spaces are limited to keep the group intimate and safe, so if this speaks to you, I’d love for you to join us.

Let’s create a space where we can grow, learn, and feel truly connected again.
