What is it?

Short term group discussion of life problems, to allow new coping strategies to develop and better
relationships for the future

Who will benefit from the therapy?

Individuals, couples and families

What will happen at a consultation?

Clients meet for a one hour session with two or three qualified therapists, one of whom will always take the lead.
Discussion follows an informal pattern, with the supporting therapists forming a reflecting team to comment from
time to time.

What are the side effects?

Discussion of life problems may involve emotional moments for clients. These are carefully managed during sessions
so that emotions may be released safely and in a way that is beneficial to clients.
