What is The Hub?

The Hub is a private membership group for people recovering from narcissistic and emotional abuse. If you’ve been left doubting yourself after a controlling parent, partner or friend, if you’re still feeling the impact long after the relationship has ended, The Hub is where recovery begins to feel possible. It’s a structured online recovery space with professional guidance, support, and clarity, created by bestselling author and psychotherapist Helen Villiers, for survivors of narcissistic and emotional abuse.
You don’t need a diagnosis. You don’t need to explain yourself. You just need somewhere that finally makes sense...

and The Hub is the place for just that.

The Hub is for you if...

  • You’ve started to see the truth, and you’re brave enough not to look away.

  • You’re done pretending you’re fine.

  • You want connection that doesn’t come with conditions.

  • You need answers that actually make sense.

  • You want love that doesn’t hurt.

  • You’re ready to stop the cycle, for good.

  • You want love that doesn’t hurt.

  • You want to feel free, truly free…

And more than anything…
  • You want to feel free, truly free…
