Brief Evidence Overview

Meta-analyses and large reviews show that group psychotherapy is an effective treatment format, with effects on depression and other mental health symptoms that are comparable to individual therapy in many cases.

Short-term outpatient group programs have demonstrated large improvements in depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms, with the majority of participants reporting that they achieved their treatment goals. In addition, patient-centred group interventions can improve overall effectiveness and functional outcomes, particularly when they integrate shared goals and structured group processes.

How is a support group different from individual therapy?

Support groups bring several people together instead of one-on-one time with a clinician, which allows you to learn from others’ experiences and see different ways of coping with similar challenges. Individual therapy is more personalized and intensive, while groups are designed to build skills, peer connection, and accountability in a cost-effective format that can complement individual care.

What kinds of topics does Aworie's groups focus on?

Groups typically focus on specific themes such as anxiety and stress, mood and depression, burnout, grief and loss, relationships and communication, identity and belonging, or cognitive wellness and healthy aging. Each group has a clear structure, with session goals, exercises, and strategies that match the topic and participants’ needs.

What outcomes can I expect from joining a group?

Most people can expect improvements in coping skills, reduced distress, and a stronger sense of support and connection. Over time, participants often report better day-to-day functioning, more confidence in managing their mental health, and clearer strategies for applying what they learn in real-life situations.

How do I know if a support group is right for me?

A support group may be a good fit if you want structured guidance plus the chance to learn from others facing similar issues, or if you’re looking for a more affordable or time-efficient option than weekly individual sessions. A brief consultation with our team can help clarify your goals, discuss any concerns, and determine whether a group, individual therapy, or a combination would best support you.
