therapeutic groups

Very few of us were fully prepared for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; it has taken us by surprise with very limited opportunity to process our feelings about it. Now, with a vaccine on the horizon, our feelings are starting to catch up. For some of us, we face a world without a loved one, others have lost a career or business.
However the pandemic has impacted you, this group provides an opportunity to come to terms with your loss, and to build the connection that so many of us have been starved of. This group is about facing our experiences together and when we are ready, moving forward into a future that is as meaningful as possible.
The group has been designed for adults wanting to work through their feelings around COVID and to provide continuing support moving forward. 

This group is aimed at getting people into reading for pleasure whilst improving their well-being and social inclusion. This is a unique group where people are encouraged to come together with a shared interest but mixed abilities in reading. 

The facilitator chooses pieces of literature, stories, extracts, articles and poetry to suit the groups need and reads aloud. This means anyone can get involved, no matter what their reading ability.  The groups are encouraged and guided to discussion where the participants can explore feelings, memories and issues within a safe environment.
