Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy Group

This group is time limited, and will meet for 12 sessions staring 7th May and ending July 23rd.

Because Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is psycho-educational in nature, the therapist often functions as a caring teacher for the client.
CBT treatment groups are therefore run almost like small, informal classes, with weekly assignments, homework review, and structured agendas.
The advantages of group treatment include more time in therapy (group sessions usually run twice as long as individual ones) at a fraction of the cost, as well as multiple sources of support and feedback, and the experience of learning from others' struggles Full and progress.

The focus of the group is on supporting participants in learning the cognitive behavioural skills that help in overcoming anxiety and depression. A further focus of the group is to stimulate & motivate participants to continue to use the skills that worked & to not stop there but aim for more than contentment.

Anxiety and Depression are serious problems. When your life is dominated by feelings of depression or when your aims and desires in life are thwarted by anxiety, life becomes unpleasant, miserable and may even feel intolerable at times. Between 10 and 15% of the population suffer at any given time from a moderate to severe form of a mood disorder (anxiety or depression). There is no need to suffer unnecessary from these problems. Effective treatments exist. Certain forms of medication and psychological therapies have been proven to be effective. One of the most effective psychological therapies is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

Who can benefit from the Group Cognitive Behaviour Therapy?

People with anxiety and depression profit from attending the group. Also people with mild to moderate personality issues benefit from taking part in the group. The group can be helpful if you have completed therapy work with a cognitive behaviour therapist. It will help you to put things in practice that you have learned. Some people with long standing problems find that the group is a beneficial practise to gradually and slowly break down old and dysfunctional patterns of behaving and thinking.

The group is taken by Karen Gerber, and sessions are on Thursday evenings between 6.00 to 7.30pm. Karen is a clinical psychologist and a Member of the BPS & BABCP. Karen will hold an initial assessment meeting with you, where you can discuss through your concerns and problems, and whether this group is right for you.
