Group Therapy Programs

Group therapy can provide an insightful, collaborative environment to work through challenges alongside others who are experiencing similar concerns. Guided by a registered psychologist, groups provide a supportive, structured space to learn, reflect, and grow — together.

Our groups are carefully designed to be thoughtful, practical, and supportive, with a strong focus on creating a respectful and welcoming environment for everyone involved.

All groups at Forrest Psychology are facilitated by registered psychologists and run in a professional setting, with an emphasis on privacy and confidentiality. We keep groups small to support meaningful participation and a welcoming group environment.

  • Group therapy involves a small group of people meeting regularly with a psychologist to explore shared themes, develop coping skills, and gain insight into their experiences. While everyone’s story is unique, group therapy can provide an opportunity to connect with others who may have similar experiences.

    Groups may focus on specific topics such as anxiety, relationships, emotional regulation, or life transitions, and often combine guided discussion with evidence-based strategies drawn from approaches such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapies.

    Participants are encouraged to share at a level that feels comfortable for them, and participation can take place at their own pace.

  • Group therapy may offer benefits that are different to, and complementary with, individual therapy, including:

    Connection and shared understanding
    Hearing from others with similar experiences may provide opportunities for connection and shared understanding.

    Learning from different perspectives
    Groups can provide opportunities to gain insight from both the psychologist and other group members, which may introduce new ways of thinking or approaching challenges.

    A supportive and normalising environment
    Group settings can provide opportunities to feel understood and connected with others who may have similar experiences.

    Practical skills you can apply in everyday life
    Sessions focus on developing practical tools and strategies that participants may be able to apply beyond the group.

    A more accessible therapy option
    Group therapy can provide a lower-fee option for accessing psychological support.
