Group Counselling Therapy

Gestalt group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on enhancing self-awareness and personal growth within a group setting. It provides a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and behaviors in relation to others. The group acts as a microcosm of the wider societal field, allowing participants to test out new ways of relating and communicating. Common techniques include role-playing, dialogue, and experiential exercises, which help participants understand themselves and others better. The therapist facilitates interactions and ensures a safe space for experimentation and growth. Gestalt group therapy is often more affordable than individual therapy and can be a valuable addition or alternative for those seeking to improve their relational skills and self-awareness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this group for?

This group is for neurodivergent adults, diagnosed, self-identified, or exploring, who want to understand themselves more deeply and explore how they relate to others. It’s for people who want a supportive, accepting space that understands different ways of being, sensing, processing, and communicating.

Do I need an official diagnosis to join?

No. Self-diagnosed, questioning, or informally identified neurodivergent people are fully welcome. Your lived experience matters more than any paperwork.

What happens in a typical session?

We begin with a gentle check-in so everyone can share what they’re bringing that day. From there, the session follows what naturally emerges, exploring what feels easy or difficult about being in the group, noticing relational patterns, and offering each other reflection and support. Sessions may include group discussion, paired work, experiential exercises, or time focused on someone if the group naturally moves there. The process is responsive rather than rigid: we work with what’s alive in the room.

Is this group suitable if I experience anxiety or social overwhelm?

Yes. The group is designed to be gentle, paced, and collaborative, with attention to sensory needs, communication differences, and overwhelm thresholds. You can slow down, take space, or rejoin when ready. It’s a supportive place to practise being with others in ways that feel manageable and gradually expand what feels possible.

Do I need previous therapy experience?

Yes. This group is intended for people who have some experience of individual therapy. Because the work is relational and reflective, previous therapy helps ensure you feel grounded enough to engage deeply and safely.

Is this a closed group? What if I need to miss a week?

Yes, this is a closed group. The same participants attend each week to support trust, depth, and consistency. Missing one or two sessions is understandable, but regular attendance helps the group develop and allows you to get the most out of the experience.

How many people are in the group?

Between 6 and 12 participants.

What is the facilitator’s role?

I hold and guide the space, maintaining safety, pacing, and boundaries; supporting people to express themselves; helping the group notice patterns; and inviting deeper exploration when appropriate. My role is not to “fix” anyone, but to create a curious, respectful, responsive environment where meaningful connection becomes possible.

Is the group confidential?

Yes. Everything shared in the group stays in the group. If you talk about your experience outside the group, it should be your story only—without naming or identifying anyone else. We will discuss confidentiality in more detail in the first session.

What is the intake process like?

Before joining, we’ll have a short 10–20 minute phone call to make sure the group is a good fit for where you are right now. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions and get a sense of the space.

Is £350 good value for 10 weeks?

Yes. The fee covers 20 hours of facilitated group work, £35 per 2-hour session. Individual therapy is often £60–£90 per hour, and group therapy offers something unique: shared support, relational learning, multiple perspectives, and opportunities to see yourself through others. It is a meaningful investment in your personal development at a significantly lower cost per hour than most therapeutic work.
