Group Mental Health & Wellbeing Sessions in Cairns

What is mental health and wellbeing? How do we achieve it? What changes do we need to make in our lives so we can be our best selves? The Therapists Cairns addresses these topics in our group therapy program.

This program delves into you as an individual and you as part of your environment. We explore the social and emotional determinants of wellbeing, along with everyday tips and tools for self-care and wellness management. The program is delivered within a group setting and incorporates several mediums including activities, mindfulness and psychotherapies.

Our goal is to share our knowledge and skills in a fun and easy environment—so every individual can have the power to make the changes they want in themselves. To find out more, or make a booking in our next program, call us on (07) 4211 3488.

Here at The Therapists Cairns, we understand that everyone has different preferences when it comes to seeking help or advice. Group therapy can offer a unique and powerful experience for individuals searching for mental health treatment.

In group therapy, members can choose to discuss their thoughts with others who are facing similar challenges, which can help normalise their experiences and provide support and understanding. Additionally, being part of a group and learning new skills together can provide a sense of social connectedness and belonging that can be beneficial for mental health.

Group therapy can complement other mental health support, such as one-on-one sessions, private counselling with your family or partner, or psychotherapy treatments. To learn more about group therapy or enquire about enrolling in our next program, get in touch with our team today.
