Group psychotherapy can benefit people who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties including depression, eating disorders, problems with relationships at home or at work, sexual identity, feelings of inadequacy, lack of fulfillment isolation and so on.

 

Group therapy like individual psychotherapy is non-directive. The role of the group facilitator is to develop the group’s awareness of itself as a powerful agent for change. Members can become skilled in making connections between unconscious processes and the way they think, feel and act.  This happens because the group comes to represent for each member a microcosm of the world each inhabits. Membership of the group can offer alternative ways of dealing with pressures and challenges which may be explored safely within the group setting . Understanding what each person brings to the group and the way each relates to fellow members, everyone is encouraged to take responsibility for their own actions and ultimately for the resolution of the problems that led them to seek help.
