Group Therapy

What is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy where one or more therapists work with a small group of individuals at the same time. Group therapy aims to provide a supportive environment where members can share their experiences, learn from one another, and receive feedback in a safe space. The group format helps individuals understand that they are not alone in their struggles, which can be incredibly validating and healing.

How Does Group Therapy Work?

Group therapy sessions are typically focused on a common issue such as anxiety, depression, or grief. Members take turns sharing their stories, offering support, and receiving guidance from both the therapist and fellow group members. Confidentiality and respect are emphasized, creating a space for honest communication.

Who Can Benefit from Group Therapy?

  • Individuals struggling with mental health issues like anxiety or depression
  • People experiencing loneliness or isolation
  • Those looking for peer support and shared experiences

Group therapy helps participants realize they are not alone in their challenges, providing comfort, insight, and collective strength for healing.

Gabrielle Lake Mitchell Brighton

Gabrielle Lake Mitchell

Integrative Counsellor

Thinking about starting counselling and looking for a counsellor, can feel daunting. So I warmly welcome you to my profile and hope that you get in touch to see if I am the right counsellor for you. There are many reasons why people seek counselling. Perhaps you are feeling lonely or disconnected from the people around you? Perhaps you would like to talk to someone about making changes in your life? Maybe you are feeling stuck, anxious or depressed, and would like a little extra support to help you through a difficult time? Perhaps you can't quite put your finger on what is wrong, and would like somewhere to express yourself and make sense of your thoughts and feelings?Whatever brings you to counselling, I will endeavour to offer you a confidential and safe space, where you can talk and explore all of your thoughts and feelings, and express them freely without judgement or opinion. Counselling can be useful in helping you to gain insight and a fresh perspective. It can help you to gain understanding about yourself and others, or help to make sense of a problematic situation. It can help you move towards acceptance, emotional freedom and healthy psychological growth.

Andy Wolage Brighton

Andy Wolage

Therapeutic Counsellor

Sometimes life is really hard. Everything feels like too much. We can get overwhelmed with guilt for not coping, shame for having failed in the past and sometimes we can end up not really liking ourselves very much. We might self medicate with substances or other behaviours which we know don't really help, but they seem better than nothing. But they just perpetuate the cycle. I can offer you a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to organise and reframe those overwhelming feelings and see the wood for the trees. I can help you understand yourself better and to begin to look in the mirror and like what you see.
