Riverside Therapy Group

Participating in a therapy group can be extremely beneficial especially if you are having difficulties in your relationships with others, lack confidence, cannot express yourself, get into conflict, repeat similar unhelpful patterns of behaviour with others, dislike groups, but would rather feel more comfortable in them. These are just some of the issues a group can help with. It can build on individual counselling. It may be challenging, but if you stick with it, you will feel more comfortable, and in the supportive atmosphere of the group, come to express your issues with others, learn that they may not see you as you fear, and develop your confidence to become more yourself with other people.
If you are interested in participating in a therapy group you will be invited to meet with the group facilitator to help inform your decision about whether or not the group is appropriate to your needs.

Group therapy may provide:

• Support in a compassionate and understanding environment
• A sounding board for difficulties you may have
• Help and support to resolve difficulties
• A sense of not being alone, and an awareness of others problems
• Hope that things can change
• Understanding of yourself through communication

As well as helping you to:

• Develop your empathy and provide an opportunity to help others
• Increase your confidence in relating to people how you really want to
• Develop your inter-personal skills
• Discover that others may not feel about you the way you think they do
• Learn different ways of relating so you get more out of relationships
