A range of Recovery Workshops are also available including Understanding Partner’s Needs & Rebuilding Trust and Mindfulness for Recovery.
- Hall Recovery Course
The Hall Recovery Course is not group therapy where you will be expected to share personal feelings that are uncomfortable for you. It is a pragmatic, down to earth psycho-educational course that has been developed specifically for the treatment of sex addiction and sexually compulsive behaviours. The course is unique in providing practical skills for recovery as well as creating an environment where deeper psychological and emotional needs can begin to be explored. Our groups are strictly limited to a maximum of 8 participants and treatment efficacy is evaluated with recognised outcome measure tools.
The Hall Recovery Course is available in the following formats:
- 8 Week Online Recovery Course for Porn Addiction (specialist service also available for young adults)
- 12 Week Recovery Course – (1 evening per week plus one weekend)
- 6 Day Intensive Recovery Course
- Aftercare Group
Partner Support
Our support programmes for partners provide the space to understand the overwhelming roller coaster of emotions that are so common when compulsive sexual behaviours are either discovered or disclosed. Help is provided to develop positive coping strategies to enable partners to take control of their lives again – whatever the future may hold.
Our partner programs are available as:
- 8 Week Partner Support Group
- 4 Day Intensive Partner Support Group
- Aftercare Group
You’ll find more information about our courses and other services, as well as testimonials from those who have previously attended on our website.

Innisfree Therapy
In combination with individual therapy, Innisfree Therapy offers a range of Therapy Groups . Group Therapy is a powerful and effective catalyst for change. Our groups offer a safe yet dynamic space for people to share their experiences, reduce their sense of isolation and shame, and learn from each other. Our model is based on Irving Yalom’s Interpersonal Group Therapy, whereby we see a single interpersonal transaction as representative of a larger pattern of behaviour. By keeping the focus in the here-and-now – and on the process in the group rather than what is happening ‘world out there’ – group members learn about themselves, how they come across, and how they interact and relate. Most importantly, however, people gain support without fear of judgement, and build safe, open, intimate and honest relationships with other people who have similar problems. Group work can be intense – but there is no pressure on you to reveal more about yourself, your experiences or your behaviour until you are ready to do so.
We run groups for men, groups for women, and groups for partners.

Kairos Centre 
Group support & Treatment for partners of Sex, Porn, Love addiction to aid recovery from trauma
The Kairos Centre provide Group EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing), in a Group setting. It is provided by our Europe & UK Accredited EMDR Practitioner and is used as a process which recognises that groups are one of the best choices for effective outcomes from psychotherapy.
Rationale and Objectives
Group therapy using EMDR is called Group or Recent Event EMDR. It is regularly used to treat multiple numbers who are traumatised by a single event, flowing from such events as terrorism. Partners impacted by Sex/Porn/Love Addiction are also survivors of trauma, impacting them in a similar way.
Group EMDR (For Recent Event Trauma) enables partners to be seen, noticed and helped. Often hidden, they cope with Shame, isolation, alienation and diminished feelings. Shame means “hidden”. The Group is a place to come out of hiding, in a safe, protective and confidential environment.
PTSD or Complex-PTSD and depression are the most commonly targeted by EMDR. It is also used for a range of other symptoms, including, distress, dissociation, low self-esteem, fear, stress, anxiety and many others.
Partners are vulnerable to feeling ostracized, judged and blamed. Bonding with similar others in a supportive environment, can be a critical step toward empowerment. The Group also benefit from:
- Acknowledgment and validation of the traumatic experience – without the detail
- Normalization of trauma-related responses
- Validation of their behaviour responses – culture specific
- Camaraderie and bonding with fellow survivors in the group – lifelong
Bring colour back to life – without Shame
