Why Choose Group Therapy?
Our group therapy services in Leeds offer a supportive space to connect with others facing similar challenges. In group counselling, you gain new perspectives, improve social skills, and feel less isolated. It’s an effective approach for managing anxiety, handling depression, and other mental health concerns while building a sense of community.
- Support and encouragement: Group therapy provides individuals with support from other members. Seeing that others face similar challenges helps participants feel less alone in their struggles.
- Role models: Group members often serve as role models. Observing someone successfully coping with a problem gives hope to others. As individuals progress, they, in turn, offer support to others, fostering a sense of accomplishment.
- Affordable option: Group therapy is often a more affordable therapy option since the therapist works with several people simultaneously, making it a cost-effective alternative to individual sessions.
- Safe environment: The group therapy setting offers a secure space for individuals to practise new behaviours and actions, promoting personal growth within a supportive environment.
- Real-time feedback: By observing how individuals interact with others, the therapist gains insight into their social behaviour. This allows the therapist to provide personalised feedback, helping clients improve their interpersonal skills
Group Therapy with UKCN
At UK Counselling Network, we offer two types of group therapy sessions to suit different needs and therapeutic goals: Analytic groups and Psychoeducational groups.
- Analytic Groups: These longer-term group therapy sessions focus on exploring your interpersonal relationships and social interactions. They encourage a free-flowing conversation where members reflect on life experiences and personal issues. The group examines how conscious and unconscious experiences shape personal histories, providing valuable insight into behaviour patterns. Weekly sessions cost £15.00.
- Psychoeducational Groups: These groups focus on specific topics, like our 10-week anger solutions group, offering guidance and practical tools. An assessment is required before joining (£45.00), and each weekly session costs £30.00.
Both types of group counselling are designed to offer support, insight, and practical tools to help you navigate personal challenges, whether you’re seeking deeper emotional exploration or specific skills to manage certain issues.
Who Can Benefit From Group Therapy?
Group therapy is ideal for anyone facing challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or stress. It’s especially helpful for those seeking support, shared experiences, and new perspectives in a safe group setting. Whether you’re looking for group therapy to overcome loneliness or to deal with anxiety, it’s a great option for building community and improving mental health. Here’s some groups of people that would benefit from our affordable group therapy:
- Individuals with anxiety or depression: Group therapy provides a supportive environment for those experiencing anxiety or depression. By sharing with others who face similar struggles, individuals can gain insights, learn coping strategies, and feel less alone in their journey.
- People with relationship or family issues: Whether it’s challenges in romantic relationships, family dynamics, or friendships, group therapy helps individuals explore and resolve conflicts while learning from others’ experiences and developing healthier communication patterns.
- People feeling isolated or lonely: Group therapy can be incredibly beneficial for individuals who feel disconnected or alone. By joining a group, you’ll find a community of people who understand your feelings and can provide the mutual support needed to break out of isolation.
- Individuals facing anger management challenges: For those struggling with therapy for anger or emotional regulation, psychoeducational groups within therapy provide specific tools and strategies to address these problems. Group settings also allow participants to observe and learn from others’ experiences.
- Anyone seeking affordable mental health care: Group therapy is a cost-effective alternative to one-on-one therapy.
Being in a group
What to Expect from Group Therapy
At UK Counselling Network our groups provide high-quality support at affordable rates, run by trained professionals.
Sessions typically last 60 to 90 minutes and take place weekly or more often. In a typical session, participants sit in a circle, fostering connection. The session may start with introductions or naturally with a member sharing their thoughts.
Each group follows its own structure, depending on its goals. Some may encourage open dialogue, while others focus on practising specific skills. Participants gain support, insight, and personal growth in a safe, supportive environment.
