This setting provides a space where you can engage authentically with others, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and enhancing your interpersonal relationships.

At the heart of group therapy is the collective experience. You and your fellow group members will meet regularly, creating a consistent and reliable space for exploration and growth. The group therapist, an will help to ensure that each session is balanced and productive. They guide the group’s dynamics, encouraging open dialogue, mutual respect, and confidentiality. This ensures that every member feels safe to express themselves freely and without judgement.

• Group therapy is suitable for a wide range of people. It can be particularly beneficial for those who:

• Wish to learn from the experiences of others facing similar issues.
• Are looking for a cost-effective form of therapy with proven effectiveness.
• Want to improve their social skills in a supportive setting.
• Are open to giving and receiving feedback as part of the therapeutic process.

We require all members to share in the responsibility of making the therapy space safe and respectful for everyone. By joining our group therapy sessions, you will agree to abide by a therapeutic ‘contract’ that includes among other things, maintaining confidentiality and being respectful of each other. Together, we can create a nurturing environment where every individual feels valued, understood, and supported.

Joining group sessions is subject to a pre-assessment meeting with the therapist and a willingness to commit to a trial period.
