What Is Group Therapy?
Group therapy is a structured therapeutic process in which a psychologist works with multiple participants in a professionally facilitated group setting.
Unlike informal support groups, therapeutic groups are guided by a psychologist and usually focus on specific themes, experiences, skills, or therapeutic goals.
Group therapy may include discussion, psychoeducation, reflective exercises, emotional regulation strategies, communication work, mindfulness-based activities, or skills-based learning, depending on the type of group.

Group Suitability and Emotional Safety
Not every therapy group is appropriate for every person or circumstance. Group suitability is carefully considered to support emotional safety, therapeutic fit, and the needs of both the individual and the broader group environment.
Where significant safety concerns, acute distress, high conflict, or circumstances requiring more intensive individual support are present, alternative or additional support options may be discussed.
Confidentiality in Group Therapy
Confidentiality is discussed as part of the group process, including expectations regarding privacy and the respectful handling of personal information shared during sessions.
While psychologists maintain professional confidentiality obligations, group therapy also relies on participants respecting the privacy and experiences of others within the group setting.
