Group therapy can be a valuable and effective therapy option for many people. Here are some reasons why you may want to consider choosing group therapy:
Support from peers: Group therapy provides an opportunity to connect with others who are facing similar challenges. This can be a source of comfort, validation, and support as you work to overcome your struggles.
Learning from others: In a group therapy setting, you can learn from the experiences and insights of others. You may gain new perspectives on your own situation and find inspiration from others who have overcome similar challenges.
Cost-effective: Group therapy is often more cost-effective than individual therapy. You can benefit from the expertise of a trained therapist while sharing the cost with other group members.
Practice social skills: Group therapy provides an opportunity to practice social skills and develop new communication strategies in a safe and supportive environment. This can be especially valuable for people who struggle with social anxiety or other social difficulties
Increased accountability: In a group therapy setting, you are held accountable to both yourself and the other group members. This can help to increase motivation and commitment to making positive changes in your life.
Diverse perspectives: Group therapy brings together people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This can broaden your perspective and expose you to new ideas and ways of thinking.
Overall, group therapy can be an effective and rewarding therapy option for many people. However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s needs and preferences are different, and individual therapy may be a better fit for some individuals. It’s important to discuss your options with a trained therapist to determine the best way of accessing therapy that’s right for you.
The next group sessions are set to start in autumn 2024. Please see our leaflet for details.
