The groups take place over 3 sessions on 16 Saturdays per year, there is also one Friday evening scheduled in the year. This model is a very cost-effective way of accessing psychotherapy for personal or professional development, making it easier for those travelling from outside York to attend. This model limits travel and encourages difficulties to be explored in a focused way.
We have three therapy groups run by experienced group psychotherapists, Sara Perren, Debbie Warburton and Chris MacGregor.
The group conducted by Chris MacGregor is offered online only, for those who prefer not to travel. All online groups are weekly.
Each group session lasts one and a half hours.
