Group Psychotherapy

Group therapy is based on the theory that many of the difficulties that people experience, such as worries, on-going low mood or negative self-appraisals, often relate to past and/or present relationships. Given humans are ultimately social beings, our experiences in groups are hugely influential; for example, with family, peers, school/work and communities etc. Many individuals struggle in groups, perhaps finding it difficult to speak or maybe often feeling misunderstood. Given the importance of groups in all our lives, group therapy is a powerful medium for insight, connection, belonging, mutual respect and understanding.  

Group Therapy is different from individual therapy because many of the helpful events take place between the members of the group rather than solely between the therapist and patient. Unlike individual therapy, there is a range of group members in the therapeutic space who can speak to similar experiences or provide different perspectives. Some members also appreciate there being no pressure to always speak in the group; for much can be gained from listening and reflecting on the experiences that others’ bring.

Group Therapy

Two types of Group Therapy are offered at the Bloomsbury Therapy Centre.

Group Psychoanalysis

Group Psychoanalysis is used by people to understand themselves more deeply in order to change unfulfilling aspects of their lives. Group work is based on the idea that human beings are fundamentally social beings, whose lives are inextricably linked with other people in many ways. Some people prefer to work in a group as this offers them another context in which to explore and resolve their difficulties, and work towards more satisfying ways of relating.

Groups can also help those who find it difficult to express their feelings and needs.  Ironically we sometimes feel that it is harder to share private things with others, but finding out that we are not alone in our difficulties and benefiting from other's perspectives can be helpful.

Practitioner Psychologist


Work Focus

My work focus is with young people (14 to 25 years) who are experiencing psychological difficulties with anxiety, low mood, relationships, loss, learning as well as life transitions and questions of identity.

I offer both individual and group psychotherapy. My preferred therapeutic approach is psychodynamic, but I have the training, skills and experience to draw upon a range of psychological models to best meet your needs and goals.
