Group psychotherapy refers to more than two patients coming together for psychotherapeutic aims. Group psychotherapy is conducted for two primary reasons:
Various psychotherapy groups are available. The groups include DBT (dialectical behaviour therapy) groups for adolescents or adults, a nurture group for young to middle childhood kids, and an antenatal group. Groups tend to arise as the needs of the patient population are identified. You are welcome to contact me for more information on the groups currently running.
CURRENT GROUPS:
- It allows for the complexity of our relational patterns to be expressed and addressed in a safe environment with the guidance of a psychologist.
- It offers a significant cost-saving to budget-conscious patients, as an hourly rate is shared amongst patients.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Group - Adolescents
The DBT groups at the practice are aimed at adolescents who struggle with intense and overwhelming emotions, impulsive actions, difficulties in relationships and prolonged feelings of emptiness. During the six week period, skills training will take place focused on understanding and addressing these struggles. Sessions are 1,5 hours weekly, with additional individual feedback sessions to adolescents and a support system for parents. Ideally, DBT groups are conducted alongside individual psychotherapy.
