Group therapy

As part of my counselling offering and effort to help as many people as possible to live better lives, I run the following groups:

PROCESS GROUP

This is a montly group I run for women on the last Thrusday evening of each month.

The aim of the group is to allow a space for women to sit down once a month a process what is going on for them in their lives. This group is specifically aimed at women who just want an ear and others who may relate. It is not a heavy therapy group and it not recommended for women who want intense therapeutic input. It is more a general support group to be heard, seen and challenges acknowledged. It is often lovely to hear how others see our situation. While having a voice and getting reflection back from others, we often feel lighter and able to respond appropriately to situations that truly baffled us.

A maximum of 4 people can be accommodated. We meet in my office on the last Thursday evening of every month, from 19h00 to 21h00. The cost is R200 per person.

ADDICTION THERAPY GROUP

This group is specifically aimed at addicts who are recovering from any form of addiction. This includes both chemical (drugs and alcohol) and process (food, love, sex, gambling and gaming to name a few) addictions.

It is not an existing group. I am setting this up. As soon as we have 3 people who are interested, we shall be starting the group. I aim to keep the group small and personal, so that each member can get special attention for the 2 hours. This is a therapy group, during which check-ins and feedback will take place, as well as discussions on various topics related to recovery. The focus is more on recovery than on addiction.

We shall meet in my office. Preferably late afternoon or early evening. The cost is R200 per group per member.

THERAPY GROUP

This group is specifically aimed at people who are not suffering from addiction, but who do struggle with some aspects in their lives. The group will be based on my book, Life Anon: A 12-step guide to life for non-addicts.

It is not an existing group. I am setting this up. As soon as we have 3 people who are interested, we shall be starting the group. I aim to keep the group small and personal, so that each member can get special attention for the 2 hours. This is a therapy group, during which check-ins and feedback will take place, as well as discussions on various topics related to our reactions to life and how we can change the way we react to respond approproately and having happier lives.

We shall meet in my office. Preferably late afternoon or early evening. The cost is R200 per group per member.
