Group Therapy Adelaide

A big part of the therapeutic group experience is recognising that you’re not alone and that others are struggling with very similar emotions and circumstances, so it’s helpful to have that support. 

As the sense of community grows within the group new information, ideas and approaches for dealing with these thoughts and emotions will be shared and explored 

ARC’s facilitator, Kate, genuinely enjoys creating a space for authentic connections and a place of belonging and community.
