What is Group Therapy?
Onyx Counselling offers various forms of group options. This includes structured group therapy, support groups, psychoeducational groups, and workshops.
These groups allow one or more group therapists to work with several people at the same which allows for discussion and expression of feelings in a group setting. Group counselling may focus on providing psychoeducation, coping techniques, or the shared experience between members of the group.
Group therapy can often be more affordable. Onyx Counselling offers both low-cost and free options. Many people use group therapy in conjunction with meditation or individual therapy.
Types of Group Therapy
Psychoeducational Groups
At Onyx Counselling, we value learning as a form of support and provide specific training and skills development through Psychoeducational Group Therapy. Often principles of Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT) are used to educate clients on their specific behaviours and needs. As well as offering tools and techniques for coping. The group therapist will take on an active role as an instructor.
Support Groups
Support groups allow people to process their experiences and work through challenges in a group setting with people who understand. It can be challenging for many people to open up to others. But support groups create a sense of belonging and acceptance that can lead to healing and growth. The group therapist will support the discussion but will not be the center of attention.
Workshops
Workshops tend to focus on specific topics or skills. They are often interactive in nature and offer a wide variety of activities for all learning styles. This may include discussions, presentations, activities, and demonstrations to keep all participants engaged and learning. We offer both in-person and online workshops.
Alternative Therapies
We believe alternative types of therapy, such as somatic therapies like yoga or movement, can both supplement and enhance the talk therapy experience and contribute to healing. There is much we can learn when we bring the body into the therapeutic process.
What to Expect in Group Counselling
At Onxy Counselling, you can expect small group sizes that typically meet once a week for a specific session. Group participants are expected to respect each other’s privacy and anything said in group counselling remains confidential.
A session might begin with introductions, participants sharing their reason for joining, or discussing what has changed since the last session. Depending on the group therapist, you might expect open dialogue or a more structured discussion.
What Are the Benefits of Group Therapy?
Group Therapy is used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
People who feel alone find encouragement and belonging by interacting with others who may have a similar shared experience. Building supportive relationships and community has been shown to reduce pain, guilt, and stress by showing people that they are not alone. Group environments allow members to share their own strengths to help others and build their own sense of self-worth and confidence. Groups also allow participants to experiment with new behaviours in an environment that feels comfortable.
Group Counselling may also allow for the development of social skills, communication, and a unique opportunity for members to form important interpersonal relationships. Group sessions allow us to build a safe and supportive community. We believe that connecting to others is essential to our health and well-being.
