Group analytic therapy
Welcome
If you're reading this, you may be finding life difficult at the moment, perhaps feeling anxious, uncertain about the future. Maybe you're a little lost and unsure what is next for you. You may have been struggling for a long time in your work or personal life, navigating loss, bereavement or relationship breakdown.
Perhaps you feel that painful events from your past are encroaching on the present. You may also notice that certain destructive patterns keep repeating, preventing you from moving forward in your life. If any of this resonates with you, then you may also be looking for some support to make sense of things, process your feelings and work out what is next for you.
You may be considering therapy, perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it beneficial, but you would like something deeper and longer-term, and you're wondering if group therapy might help.
How might this group help you
This analytic therapy group offers an opportunity for long-term, weekly therapy and a safe and confidential space to work through your current difficulties in the company of others. You will benefit from the multiple perspectives and experiences of your fellow group members. Therapy in a group can help you:
- enhance your relationships and improve your social confidence
- reduce your anxiety, depression, social isolation, and loneliness
- process difficult feelings and painful life events
- develop your confidence and assertiveness in group situations
- navigate tricky family and workplace boundaries and dynamics
- explore aspects of identity, diversity, community, cultural heritage, and foster a sense of belonging
- work through professional difficulties, career transitions, retirement and relationship endings
- recover from work-related stress and burnout and create a more balanced life
- feel accepted, supported and more grounded and resourceful

Practicalities
This new, open-ended therapy group will be held on Thursday evenings in Greater Manchester. I am accepting enquiries now, so please get in touch to arrange a free, initial consultation.
