At Rites for Girls we help girls develop a healthy sense of self as they move towards womanhood. I believe that if girls feel good about themselves they will grow into the women that they wish to become.

Girls Journeying Together groups are safe, fun and supported spaces where girls can meet, knowing that they will be heard, seen and celebrated for who they are, and where they can explore their hopes and fears as they move through adolescence. I see the challenges that many women face with not feeling ‘good enough’ so we work preventively by supporting girls to gain greater self-awareness, self-esteem and resilience at a time when they face many changes. Being surrounded by a strong community of peers and caring adults helps girls to flourish; I know this through my own experience of the power of support and encouragement from women friends.

Over the last ten years I have worked in family support and, most recently, in mental health. I live in Surrey with my husband, 1.5 cats, three (almost) grown-up children and five chickens.

I would love to talk to you more about Girls Journeying Together groups. Please contact me for a chat if you would like to know more about my taster sessions.
