Group Therapy
Group therapy sessions provide the peer support to encourage and motivate you through the challenges you’ll face when looking at your past and stepping into your future. Working through these challenges with a committed, consistent group of people is a unique process.

Peer Support
Group therapy sessions aim to keep the participants together for a sustained period in a ‘cohort’ style, allowing a strong bond to develop between members of the group. The ‘What’s App’ peer support group allows you to connect with your peers when you’re experiencing challenges in your every day life ensuring that you’re never alone during your most challenging moments and always have someone to lean on.
A Safe Space
Share your experience with others to work through your process in a supportive environment. During the group sessions, you’ll be able to speak openly about what ever is on your mind whether it’s something from the past, present or future. Bringing your darkest thoughts, fears and pain into the light helps to release the power these things hold over you. In sharing with the group, you can help to regain power over your thoughts and learn to control them.
Understanding
Each week, we will explore a small amount of theory behind the causes and consequences of your unwanted patters and how to overcome them. Whilst it’s not thought that you will be able to ‘understand’ your way to overcoming your unwanted feelings, it can certainly help to have a good knowledge of the patterns in your brain, what triggers you to initiate the patterns and how best to interrupt them. As a group, we will explore a range of theories underpinning your issues.
