Group support
A therapeutic space where connection becomes part of healing.
It can be powerful to realise you are not the only one struggling with a particular pattern, loss, identity question, relationship issue, or emotional experience. Groups create space for support, accountability, skill-building, and honest connection.
Common reasons people join therapy groups
Support can feel different when you are not carrying it alone.
Group therapy can be a helpful fit for people who want therapeutic support and meaningful connection. Groups may focus on a specific theme, skill set, identity, life stage, or shared experience.
Isolation

Relationship patterns
You want to notice how you relate, communicate, protect yourself, or respond in real time.
Skills practice

Trauma recovery
You want trauma-informed support that honours safety, choice, pacing, and connection.

Questions
Common questions about group therapy.
Is group therapy the same as individual therapy?
No. Group therapy offers therapist-led support in a shared setting, where connection, feedback, and shared learning become part of the work.
Will I have to share right away?
No. Groups are paced with care. Participation grows as trust and comfort build.
How do I know which group is right for me?
The consultation helps clarify your goals, current needs, and whether a specific group is a good fit.
Can I do group therapy and individual therapy?
Often, yes. Group therapy can complement individual work by offering connection, practice, and support between sessions.
Are groups confidential?
Groups include clear agreements around privacy, respect, and emotional safety. Your therapist will explain expectations before you begin.
What if I feel nervous joining a group?
That is very common. A consultation can help you ask questions, understand the group format, and decide whether it feels like the right next step.
