We offer courses, groups and workshops to help you understand your problems and learn practical skills to cope with them.
For some people, working through problems with other people who understand what they’re going through can really help.
Group therapy gives you the opportunity to hear from others who are struggling with similar issues to you. You get to see that other people are having similar experiences to you. This can help you gain an understanding of your own problems.
No pressure
Therapists will spend time talking to you about planned topics each week. Group members are encouraged to talk about how they feel too. But you won’t be forced to share your thoughts and experiences.
The therapists are there to make sure everyone gets the best out of the experience.
