An Introduction to the Story Ahead - An Evening to Pause & Reflect

A complimentary therapeutic taster evening for women to pause, reflect and hear themselves think, alongside other women navigating change. Your life can be full, successful and outwardly fine - and still leave you wondering what comes next. We make space for our physical health, but don't always give ourselves the same opportunity to pause and reflect on what's happening in our inner lives. The Story Ahead was created to offer that space. Join Lucy, a qualified counsellor and Registered Member of the BACP, for a complimentary one-hour introduction to The Story Ahead at Well & Good in Godalming. What is The Story Ahead? The Story Ahead is a professionally facilitated therapeutic space for women navigating change, transition and the quieter questions that can arrive. Sitting between traditional therapy and everyday wellbeing, it brings a small group of women together to pause, reflect, hear themselves think and explore where they are in their lives. Informed by group therapy principles, it offers thoughtful professional support alongside the opportunity to reflect in the company of other women. You don't need to be experiencing a crisis or have a particular problem to solve. You may simply be at a point in your life where you'd value some space to consider what has changed, what still fits and what might come next. What to expect at the taster evening We'll begin with the question: Where am I now? Through gentle reflection and professionally facilitated conversation, we'll make space to explore questions such as: • What does my life currently ask of me? • What might I be asking of my life? The evening is an opportunity to experience The Story Ahead's approach, get a feel for the group environment and begin to understand what this kind of therapeutic space could offer you. There's nothing to prepare and no pressure to share anything you don't want to. You're very welcome to come on your own, and listening and reflecting are equally welcome ways to participate. An introduction to our six-week programme The taster evening also introduces The Story Ahead's six-week therapeutic programme, beginning in January 2027. Across six weekly 90-minute sessions, a small, closed group of women will explore identity, the roles and expectations we carry, relationships, our needs and values, and what we might want to make more room for in our lives. There is absolutely no obligation to join the programme afterwards. The evening is simply an opportunity to experience The Story Ahead and decide whether you'd like to explore it further.

You don't need to know what comes next. Sometimes the first step is simply having enough space to notice where you are. I'd love to welcome you. Lucy 🤍
