Group Counselling
Many people find Group Counselling helpful. Group Counselling could refer to an open forum where people in the group share their problems under the guidance of a trained counsellor. Or it could refer to a specific training where participants share their experiences about a particular problem. Additionally, they may receive counselling support during the training, both within the group, and where needed, individually as well.
Attending group counselling or training can help you in many ways. Talking over problems and learning with others makes you feel less alone. You then feel supported, knowing there are others who feel like you. Moreover, sharing experiences makes you feel connected and stronger. Talking in groups gives you the opportunity to shares ideas and experiences. And when others in the group encourage you, the way forward is easier.
Some people find talking about their problems in groups easier than talking to a counsellor by themselves. That’s because you feel less exposed as an individual. This does not mean that you could not see a counsellor by yourself between group sessions. Once you have gained confidence in the group, you might feel up to a one-to-one session, especially if you’re struggling a lot. See Individual Counselling.
People attending Group Counselling discuss, learn and share feedback. Hearing what it’s like for someone else expands your understanding. As participants’ skills develop, the group becomes more positive about themselves and their future.
