Group counseling is a form of therapy where a small group of people with similar issues or concerns come together under the guidance of a trained therapist. Groups provide a built-in support network of people who understand what you’re going through. It offers diverse viewpoints and solutions from other group members. It’s often more affordable than individual therapy. Group counseling helps develop social and coping skills in a real-world context.
Types of Group Counseling:
- Support Groups: Focus on providing emotional support and sharing experiences.
- Psychoeducational Groups: Aim to educate members about specific issues and teach coping strategies.
- Therapy Groups: Focus on deeper psychological issues and are often led by a licensed therapist.
- Self-Help Groups: Typically peer-led and focus on mutual support and shared experiences.
