 What does the group process involve?

Group process is group therapy led by an experienced counsellor.  In “group-process” you learn that perhaps you are not as different as you think you are, or that you are not alone. You will meet and interact with people, and the whole group learns to work on shared problems, which is one of the most beneficial aspects of group process. The group process encourages mutual support, cooperation, identification and encouragement. The role of the counsellor is to facilitate this process while supporting the shared goal of open, honest communication where thoughts and feelings can be expressed.

Most people find that group process provides a great deal of relief because it allows them the chance to talk with others who are experiencing similar problems in a private, confidential setting. Many people who have experience group process believe that working together with others is helpful and that they feel better by participating in this form of group work.

Group process really does provide support, caring and friendship among the participants.
