Many of us grew up in homes where we never learned what healthy emotional regulation means. We didn't learn to recognise our emotions, to give them space, to name them and to express them in healthy ways. Instead, we may have learned to bury certain feelings or to express them excessively.
For example, we may have heard that "it's not okay to be angry" and learned to suppress our anger; that "boys don't cry" and hid our sadness; or we grew up in a home where anger erupted uncontrollably, and so we learned that this is how emotions are "expressed." At other times, we learned to take care of others first and to ignore our own needs.
All of this affects how we form relationships, as well as how we relate to ourselves.
Psychoeducational groups are, in a sense, a "school of emotions": a space where we learn—often for the first time—what we didn't learn growing up. To recognise what we feel, to give it space, to name it and to express it in ways that bring us closer to others and to ourselves.
The power of the group
There are experiences that are difficult to process alone—not because we cannot understand them, but because they were formed and are repeated within relationships. The group offers a space where these patterns can become visible, be understood, and gradually transform.
Within the group setting, other members’ journeys often mirror our inner reality.
Research in group psychotherapy shows that identification and the sense of “I’m not alone” are among the strongest drivers of change. Even when we do not share something personal, listening to others can awaken emotions, thoughts, and insights of our own.
The group functions as a “living laboratory of relationships,” where everyday relational patterns naturally emerge in the here-and-now. In a safe framework, there is room to observe them, experiment with new responses, and integrate fresh awareness.
Groups are organized around shared themes—intimacy, trust, interpersonal connections—and bring together people of similar life stages.
Here, you can express interest in joining online support and psychotherapy groups in order to deepen awareness through group dynamics and to grow personally through relationships.

Groups are addressed to individuals who want to understand themselves more deeply through their relationships and to work on recurring relational patterns.
Groups begin on dates set once the required number of participants has been reached.
If you would like to participate, complete the contact form, mention your interest in an online group, and include any questions you wish to explore together.
For the group to remain a safe and meaningful space, it relies on several fundamental principles:
No. The groups are open to people who have never been in therapy before. All you need is the willingness to take part in a safe and confidential space.
Each group has 6–8 people, and each meeting lasts 90 minutes, held online via a secure platform.
Psychoeducational groups are structured and time-limited, with an emphasis on learning and practicing skills. Psychotherapy/support groups are more experiential and ongoing, with an emphasis on the relational process.
Yes. Confidentiality is a fundamental principle: whatever is shared in the group stays within the group.
You fill in the contact form, choosing interest in an online group as the subject. A short introductory conversation follows before you join.
Consistent attendance strengthens the group's cohesion, but we understand that obstacles come up. The details are discussed during the introductory conversation.
