Individual work may well be the situation of choice for those who are new to psychotherapy. In a confidential setting the individual can speak of the distress and disorientation that is the predominant and pressing problem. The therapist listens attentively and responds sensitively seeking to help the individual understand her or his current problems and to place them against the wider, deeper and less appreciated aspects of the individual’s life and history. It will address many of the problem areas listed in the “Group Analysis” section on this website.
One to one can be an end in itself. It can also act as a preparation for becoming a member of a psychotherapy group.
Group-analysis can be a powerful way of helping people change. It recognises that many personal problems arise in groups: in one’s past and present families, at work and in other similar situations.
