Therapeutic Groups
Our Therapeutic Groups
All our groups are run by trained counsellors and psychotherapists and are focussed on a particular topic. All workshops are free of charge and easy to access over Zoom (free version).
Group for Autistic 18 to 25 year old
This group is for those aged 18 to 25 years who are autistic, whether diagnosed or self-diagnosed. It is an online space for meeting others in a similar position, and to support and learn from each other how best to deal with situations that may arise. There will be a discussion in the first session to determine the needs of the group and how the facilitators can best support the members. A WhatsApp group for members who wish to participate will also be offered during the group.
You will have the opportunity to connect with others, learn some new ways to support yourself and a chance to develop a supportive network to help you after the group ends.
There will be between 8 and 12 meetings for the group, depending on the need expressed by the members. All group meetings will be facilitated by trained counsellors or psychotherapists.
Maria Robinson and Elissa Vale will be facilitating the courses. They are trained and registered counsellors and psychotherapists who have worked with both autistic people and their parents and carers, for many years. They also have experience of writing and running training courses over the last 25 years.
Bereavement Group
This group is for those who are struggling to move forward after a bereavement.
Our “Bereavement” group will be at the same time and day every week for 8 weeks and will provide information and skills to all those who attend, as well as a chance to hear from each other about their experiences and how they have coped so far.
Our Groups are designed to adapt according to the needs of the users. The first session the group will decide what would be most helpful for them. There will be some information and strategies given to every group around the topic.
