Therapy Groups
In response to key student issues we are pleased to be offering the following therapy groups:
- Interpersonal Relations Groups
- Self and Trauma
- Developing Self Esteem
- Developing Emotional Regulation
Most groups are open to students at any stage of your education, whether undergraduate or postgraduate. If you feel you would benefit from any of these groups, please discuss this at your initial brief consultation or with your CAPS Therapist, University Mental Health Nurse, Wellbeing Advisor or any member of the Disability Team.
We would strongly recommend a short course of individual therapy before engaging with a therapy group. It is also essential to have a pre-group therapy meeting with the group facilitator(s) to ensure a group is suitable for you.
See FAQS for the answers to a range of frequently asked questions about our therapy groups.
Quotes from group members (feedback forms 2024-25):
“My sense of loneliness decreased. I felt accepted and safe. I felt like each person shared the space equally”
“Opening up to new people is never easy, but having shared experience can truly help in breaking down shame.”
“I was scared of joining the group beforehand, but after completing the group I can confidently say there is no need to be, and you will thank yourself for doing so.”
“Even if you think you know a lot about yourself already, just go through with it. You’ll learn much more about yourself than you’ll realise. Don’t underestimate that, it’s the key to healing”
