Current Research

Barriers to group therapy from a therapist perspective

I am currently studying a masters in counselling and psychotherapy with Bath Spa University and my final dissertation includes conducting a research project. I have chosen to research what the barriers may be for people choosing, accessing and engaging with group therapy. 

Group therapy, according to research, is as effective as individual therapy, yet in my experience it is very difficult to get people to choose this as an option. Because of the work I do I am particularly interested in the barriers men may face. 


If you are a professional working therapeutically with individuals and/or groups I would be interested to hear your thoughts. Please read the below participant information before completing the survey.

Participant Information Sheet

Please read before beginning the survey.

The research will be the basis for the final dissertation of a masters but it is also hoped this research will provide some useful information for future group work. If you would be interested in finding out the results of the research you can register your interest at zena.cooper21@bathspa.ac.uk
