- This group will incorporate elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a psychological approach that emphasises connecting with your personal values to support engagement in meaningful life experiences.
- This group is a facilitated, experiential process that draws on ACT through using a range of resources and techniques to support you in understanding and developing your relationship with your physical health condition.
- This is a weekly ‘in person’ therapy group run over 8 consecutive weeks, for students at any stage of their education. Each session will last for 90 minutes, and attendance is required at every session. The group will be facilitated by Psychological Therapist/s and based at Wellbeing and Student Support in Senate house
- Students interested in this group should discuss this with the person they are currently working with e.g. Psychological Therapist, Disability Advisor, Mentor etc. They may then be offered a one-to-one pre-group session with a group facilitator to decide whether it is a suitable option and, if appropriate, to identify a goal and to plan for the group.
