Group Therapy
Group Therapy at Bellarine Psychology
Sometimes the best support doesn’t come from one-on-one sessions. It comes from realising you’re not the only person going through it.
Group therapy brings together a small number of people facing similar challenges to work through them together, guided by one of our clinicians. Programs typically run 6 to 10 weeks, with a consistent group of participants each week.
What we can do?
Why group therapy works
Group therapy isn’t just a more affordable option. It’s a highly effective, evidence-based approach that offers something different from individual therapy.
You’ll realise you’re not alone
Hearing others share similar experiences reduces self-judgment and isolation in a way that’s hard to replicate one-on-one.
Learning happens in real time
You get to see how others use coping strategies and apply them to your own situation.
Multiple perspectives deepen insight
