What is Group Counselling?

Group counseling involves a therapist working with a small group of individuals with similar issues or concerns. These groups typically meet regularly to discuss their experiences, provide support and feedback to each other, and learn coping strategies from the therapist.  

Group counselling process can be focused on a specific issue (e.g., grief, anxiety, substance abuse) or more general in nature.

Benefits of group counseling include:

1.   Support and validation: Group members can support and validate each other, reducing feelings of isolation and shame.

2.   Diverse perspectives: Group members offer different perspectives and insights, which can help individuals gain new insights into their issues.

3.   Skill-building: Groups often focus on teaching specific skills, such as communication or stress management, that can help manage mental health issues.

4.   Normalization: Seeing others struggling with similar issues can help individuals feel more normal and less alone.

5.   Increased self-awareness: Group members can provide feedback and reflections that help individuals better understand themselves and their behaviours.

6.   Cost-effective: Group counseling process is often more cost-effective than individual therapy, making it more accessible to people who cannot afford individual sessions.

 

With an understanding of the meaning of Group counseling, we can conclude that it can be a powerful tool for promoting healing and personal growth, particularly for individuals who benefit from the support and connection of others facing similar challenges.
