Group Counselling

What is Group Counselling

NuHealing Therapy & Wellness Center are able to provide group counselling as an option for psychotherapy. Benefits of group counselling include but are not limited to: learning new skills in a supportive and confidential environment, knowing others have similar challenges regarding the topic of the group, exercises to facilitate learning, the opportunity to give and receive constructive feedback, and an opportunity to share your experiences while processing and working through challenges with a therapist and fellow group members.

There are two types of group therapy:

In process-orientated groups, the focus is on the interpersonal experience of the members in relation to a specific group topic. This is where individual growth and change happens by processing challenges with your fellow group members and therapist. 

Psycho-educational groups are focused on information sharing of a certain topic or teaching skills (e.g. anger management, relapse prevention). In this type of group, the therapist has an active role of an instructor and the interaction of members are less important, however, members are welcome to contribute to conversation around the topic. These groups tend to be short-term. 

Therapy groups tend to have between 6-10 members and meet for one to two hours, usually weekly. Groups are closed. This means there is a start and end date and you are with the same people in the group.
