Small Group Support
About Small Group Support Sessions
In my years of counselling, I’ve noticed a growing need for group support where individuals, couples, and families facing similar challenges can learn together. Becoming a group member involves active participation in activities led by an experienced counsellor, fostering mutual support and empowerment through shared experiences.
As more people seek counselling, there’s a rising interest in joining groups aimed at personal development and reaching life potential. In these settings, members engage with each other, addressing conflicts, challenging beliefs, and providing feedback to influence behavior. The goal is to solidify insights and find a direction forward.
Purpose
Our small group sessions focus on the here-and-now timeframe and the dimensions of emotion, behavior, and cognition. The aim is to increase self-awareness and determine aspirations for positive life changes. We support individuals through thematic group activities in areas such as:
- Expressing and managing emotions
- Improving interpersonal relationships and communication skills
- Stress management and emotional regulation
- Personal growth and development
- Facing life challenges together
The small group sessions are conducted by invitation. If you’re interested in being part of our groups, please give us a call to inquire.
