Group therapy sessions are led by our team of experienced mental health professionals. The sessions are structured utilising effective strategies to help guide discussion, promote personal growth, connection and healing.
Group therapy offers the unique benefit of being surrounded by others who understand your struggles. This sense of community can help reduce feelings of isolation and foster empathy, understanding, and connection.
Our inpatient group therapy programs are specialised for the treatment of a range of mental health conditions, ranging from anxiety to trauma and grief. During group therapy sessions, our team use a variety of methods stemming from humanistic, cognitive behavioural, and/or psychoanalytic approaches.
Within the group therapy setting, you will try to replace your old behaviour with newer, more productive ways. Interaction and discussion within the group is encouraged, and you will also undertake specific activities to address your fears and concerns.
One of the biggest advantages of group therapy is helping you realise that you are not alone. That others have similar problems or concerns.
Group therapy can help you develop new skills, to relate to others. The dynamics of a group therapy often mirror those of society in general. Learning how to interact with other group members can help with your relationships outside the group.
Group members who have the same problems can support you. They may offer suggestions to dealing with a particular problem that you may not have considered.
