There can be a great benefit to sharing difficult and painful life experiences with others. The feeling of being heard in therapy can be liberating, empowering and lead to feeling less isolated. The group experience enables this to take place in a wider context than individual therapy can offer. A group offers an opportunity to embark on a shared journey, enhance awareness, learn more about how you relate to others and a way to experiment with being and behaving differently. The group will draw on gestalt therapy, psychodrama and mindfulness practice, and use creative methods to stimulate self awareness.

A group for therapists who value neurodiversity in clients, or themselves, or who want to learn about neurodiversity. The neurodiversity paradigm views conditions such as autism & attention deficits as naturally occurring variants in human neurology. Neurodiversity de-stigmatizes & de-pathologizes cognitive differences. Instead of seeking to make someone more ‘normal,’ neurodiversity affirming therapists are accepting of differences, & support helping people know & understand themselves, communicate their needs, & self-advocate. Aims are: to educate, spread awareness of neurodiversity, air & challenge problematic views, counter ableism, support neurodivergent voices, network, collaborate, share referrals, support each other, & to promote the neurodiversity paradigm within psychological services.

Mindfulness is the basic human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Mindfulness is something we all naturally possess. And there’s growing research showing that when you train your brain to be mindful, you’re actually remodelling the physical structure of your brain. Pause. Breathe. De-Stress Mindfulness & Relaxation Group – 4 Week Block Hosted by: Giovanna & Lindsay (Counselling Psychologists) Tuesdays in June (3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th) at 12pm Mindfulness practices including breathing, guided imagery, and relaxation strategies
