One-to-One & Group Therapy

Different people benefit from different therapeutic formats. Therapy England offers both private individual sessions, just you and your therapist, and therapist-led group therapy, where you can connect with others navigating similar challenges. Both formats are evidence-based and delivered by fully qualified therapists over secure, encrypted video.

What this means for you

• Private one-to-one sessions

  Complete privacy and individual focus. Every aspect of the session is tailored to you, your history, and your goals.

• Therapist-led group therapy

  Structured group sessions facilitated by a qualified therapist. Particularly beneficial for social anxiety, grief, addiction recovery, and interpersonal difficulties.

• The healing power of shared experience

  Hearing from others who understand what you're going through can reduce shame, isolation, and the sense of being alone with your struggles.

• Flexible format as your needs evolve

  You might start with individual therapy and add group work, or move between formats as your needs and goals change.
