Group Therapy at The Group Psychology Practice

Discover the Power of Group Therapy

Group therapy offers a unique relational space where up to ten individuals gather regularly to explore connection, presence, and relational process. Inspired by Irvin D. Yalom’s process model and informed by contemporary ecological and depth perspectives, these groups become living ecosystems—where relational patterns and deeper entanglements emerge, unfold, and can be worked with in real time.

Key Elements

  • Relational & Ecological Exploration:
    Participants trace how past and present relationships, cultural narratives, and ecological contexts shape their experience, learning to recognise and engage with these patterns within the group’s evolving, living culture.
  • Mutual Support:
    The group provides a relational space where members give and receive honest feedback, fostering empathy, courage, and authentic connection.
  • Presence and Process:
    Sessions are process-oriented and unstructured, focused on deep attunement to what unfolds moment to moment. The therapist holds this emergent space as a host, encouraging the group to embrace complexity, uncertainty, and even the “monstrous” or hidden aspects that arise.
  • Growth and Transformation:
    Over time, participants develop relational flexibility, emotional courage, and clarity that extend beyond the therapy room supporting not only individual insight but a more attuned participation in the larger ecological and relational world.

objectives

  • Create a relational container for deep interpersonal and ecological exploration
  • Support the development of emotional awareness, communication skills, and attuned presence
  • Foster genuine connection, belonging, and a sense of collective interdependence beyond the human
  • Encourage experimentation with new, flexible ways of relating to self, others, and the more-than-human

Details

Groups are intentionally small—maximum 10 participants—to foster close connection and hold the dynamic, sometimes unpredictable process that unfolds in the group.

Group Options:

  • Weekly Group: Saturdays, 12:00–1:30 pm | $65 per week
  • Fortnightly Group: Sundays, 2:00–4:00 pm | $90 per fortnight

Payment

A regular membership fee secures your place in the group, supporting stability and cohesion within the group process. Payment is required regardless of attendance once your place is confirmed. Medicare rebates are not available for group therapy.

Withdrawal and Re-Entry: Membership in the group continues until a participant formally or decisively withdraws. Withdrawal is an autonomous decision that ideally occurs with intentional reflection and, where possible, is grounded in the group process itself. This means participants are encouraged to consider their decision thoughtfully and, if appropriate, discuss it within the group or with the therapist to honour the relational dynamics at play.

Please note that once withdrawn, returning to the same group may not be possible due to group dynamics and availability.
