Individual and Group

Individual therapy and group therapy each offer distinct, evidence-based benefits in the field of counselling. Research consistently shows that individual therapy provides a private, personalized space where clients can explore sensitive issues at their own pace, develop self-awareness, and receive tailored interventions that directly address their unique challenges. It often leads to significant improvements in mood, coping strategies, goal setting and overall functioning.

On the other hand, group therapy offers a powerful sense of connection and shared experience, which can reduce feelings of isolation and normalize personal struggles. Studies have found that group settings foster interpersonal learning, empathy, and accountability, while also building social support networks. When used appropriately, both modalities can be equally effective, and many therapeutic programs integrate them to maximize outcomes depending on client needs and goals.
