Many people are able to benefit from group psychotherapy.
This leaflet tells you how you might be helped by this form of psychotherapy. For further information contact Benefits of Group Therapy Groups can include a mixture of people of every age, race, colour, creed and sexual orientation, representing something like a selection of the ordinary world. Therapy groups usually consist of around eight people and will meet once or twice a week for an hour and a half every session. The group should always remain a safe place in which a therapeutic atmosphere is cultivated so that painful experiences can be talked about. The group therapist will take care to maintain this safety.
