What Is Group Therapy?

Group therapy is a type of counseling where small groups of people meet regularly, led by experienced therapists, to discuss their challenges, offer support, and learn together. It’s different from one-on-one therapy because the focus is on sharing within the group, creating a space where everyone learns from each other.

The goal? To foster a supportive community that empowers individuals to heal. The main difference between group therapy and individual therapy is that group therapy relates to how humans function and communicate as a group. This can be very useful for everyone coming to the forum, getting support from and giving support to one another.
