New: Group Therapy for Stress

 

We are looking for participants who are interested in low cost - high effectiveness stress therapy. Interested? Then please read below for details.

 

Stress is one of the most prominent long term issues that we all face in this modern life. Likewise, unlike most things in this modern day, there is not a simple cure for it. There is no effective medication for stress and therapy for stress can be expensive. So what to do?

 

Well, at New Age Therapy, we've adapted a form of group therapy and combined it with stress therapy to create.... you guessed it... Group Therapy for Stress! Not only is group therapy renowned to be an effective type of therapy, but it allows the therapist to charge clients far less than what they would usually be charged.

 

Who are we looking for?

• Clients will need to have some form of stress, whether that stress be due to work, relationships, family, children or a traumatic event.

• Group therapy is a type of long term therapy. Therefore clients should be commited to months of therapy, rather than weeks.

• We are looking to start with a minimum of four clients, expanding up to 8-10 clients per session eventually.

 

Why choose Group Therapy?

• It costs far less than individual therapy.

• Through group therapy you will meet many people suffering from stress just like you. They will be able to offer you advice from there own experiences as well as offer you hope. After time you will be able to offer others  advice, giving you confidence and imrpoving your self-esteem.

• The group will consist of people willing to listen to your problems, and talk through them with you. This in itself can sometimes reduce stress massively. Especially if you have no-one supportive to talk to outside of therapy.

 

What do I need to know about Group Therapy with New Age Therapy?

• Sessions typically last 1.5 hours.

• Sessions take place once a week.

• (Date and time of sessions to be agreed once first intake of clints has been completed)

• Sessions cost £20 a week (That is almost 25% of the cost of an individual 1.5 hour session).

• Tea, Coffee, Water and biscuits will all be provided at the start of the session.

• It's not uncommon for group therapy to go over the 1.5 hour mark. Therefore if arranging taxi's or pick-ups, please book them with time to spare.

• Clients should be aware that due to the nature of group therapy, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. We do ask all our clients to take a vow of silence over what others talk about during there sessions. Repeated abuse of the vow will result in dismissal from the group.

 

What does a general session of Group Therapy for stress consist of?

• 0-5 minutes: Get drinks and get settled.

• 5-15minutes: Introductions (if new members are present). Otherwise clients will be asked who wants to speak today.

• 15-60minutes: Group therapy takes places. This involves telling your story, listening to others stories, giving and receiving advice and feedback. Overall we will look at your situation as a group and work out what you could do to alter your situation and lessen the amount of stress in your life.

• 60-65minutes: Quick toilet break.

• 65-85minutes: Most often this period will be dedicated to hypnotherapy designed to de-stress and relax clients. On rare occasions this time will be used to teach and practice coping strategies aimed at reducing stress.

• 85-90minutes: Come-round period. Spend five minutes coming out of hypnosis and closing the session.
