How does group analytic psychotherapy work?

  • Groups meet on a regular weekly basis with a group therapist.
  • Each group session is one and a half hours long.
  • We offer once weekly and twice weekly groups.
  • Group membership is limited to a maximum of 8 participants.
  • A new member will join an ongoing group when a suitable vacancy occurs
  • The group space is an unstructured space in which participants are encouraged to speak about their lives, their difficulties, aspirations, thoughts, feelings and dreams, as well as to engage with and respond freely to others and their stories.
  • Group analytic psychotherapy is a long term therapy. Participants are invited to make an initial commitment of a year; however, it is not unusual for members to remain in the group for much longer.
  • Safeguards: Group members should not know each other in their day to day lives; they are encouraged not to meet each other outside the group setting; strict confidentiality is maintained regarding the exchanges that take place within the group.
