How We Relate
12 weeks of Group Therapy in Clapham
For people who are often there for others, but find it harder to let others be there for them.
When being cared for feels harder than caring for others
You may care deeply about your relationships while finding it difficult to say what you feel, ask for what you need, or let other people see when you are struggling.
​
Perhaps you worry about being a burden, appearing needy, disappointing someone, or becoming less wanted if you show that you are not okay. You may find yourself adapting to others, avoiding difficult conversations, keeping feelings to yourself, or struggling to know where your own needs fit within a relationship.
​
These experiences can appear in many different kinds of relationships, including with partners, friends and family.
​
How We Relate is a small, confidential group offering Group Therapy in Clapham for adults who would like to explore these experiences alongside others.
Why group therapy?
-
See yourself in others. Hearing someone else describe something familiar can bring recognition and reduce the sense of being alone.
-
Notice patterns as they happen. The group can make visible how you relate to others, not only what you say about relationships outside the room.
-
Practise being more open. It offers a space to experiment with expressing feelings, asking for support and allowing others to see when things are difficult.
-
Experience different responses. Other people may understand, challenge or respond to you in ways that help you see yourself differently.
-
Receive, not only give. For people who are used to supporting others, the group can become a place to explore what it is like to let others support you too.
-
Feel connected without having to be the same. A group can hold difference, uncertainty and vulnerability while still creating a sense of belonging.
