Group Counselling
Group Counselling is a form of psychotherapy by the group.
What is Group Counselling?
As the name suggests, group counselling provides psychotherapy in a group setting as opposed to a one-on-one setting. It is commonly implemented in cases of anxiety or addiction.
Group counselling can also be coupled/alternated with individual counselling for perfect results. People in group counselling improve not only from the psychoeducation and guidance provided by the therapist but also from observing others and receiving feedback from group members.

How does it work?
Typically, 5-8 individuals meet once or twice a week, for about an hour. After explaining the rules and setting an agenda, the therapist engages the group on the chosen topic. There is some activity-based learning and sharing. Groups also set goals and discuss their progress with other members.
