Why Group Therapy Works Better Than We Think - and Why Women Aren't Getting It
from The Motherhood Clinic · host The Motherhood Clinic
In this episode, we talk with Claudia Radu, founder of Circe, the first digital platform connecting women to online group therapy. With an estimated 1 million women on NHS waitlists and wait times stretching up to 18 months, accessible mental health support has never been more urgent – especially for new mothers navigating isolation, hormonal shifts, and the weight of unmet expectations. We explore why group therapy is not only more affordable but often more effective than one-to-one support, how being there for others helps us heal ourselves, and why rebuilding community might be the missing piece in postnatal mental health care. Claudia also shares her personal journey through anxiety and OCD, what it means to build as a non-clinical founder, and why loneliness is as harmful to our health as smoking.Resources mentionedCirce: https://hello-circe.comCirce on Instagram: @hello.circeHarvard Study on Adult Development (social connection and health): https://www.adultdevelopmentstudy.org
