SUMMARY:Counsellor-led Group Sessions - Spring 2025
DESCRIPTION:Following the success of our previous group counselling rounds\, we are pleased to offer another series of Counsellor-Led Group Support Sessions. These small\, professionally facilitated sessions are designed to provide support\, guidance\, and practical strategies to help you cope while waiting for ongoing counselling\, without any pressure to share your personal experiences. \nJoin us on Thursdays from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM\, starting May 1st\, for a 6-week program led by a qualified and compassionate counsellor at Quetzal. \nThese groups are not therapy and will not impact your individual counselling sessions. You can attend one group session or book in for up to 6 sessions\, depending on your needs. The sessions will be psychoeducational in nature\, with a different theme each week to help you concentrate on strategies and coping mechanisms. We have a schedule of workshops for 2025 with themes as follows: \nSpring 2025 \nWeek one:      1st May – Processing Emotions\nWeek two:      8th May – Anxiety\nWeek three:   15th May – Anger\nWeek four:     22nd May – Defence Mechanisms\nWeek five:      29th May – Relationships\nWeek six:       5th June – Resilience \nAttending these sessions can be very effective in helping you begin your recovery journey. \nRegister for these sessions at the website link below.
