How We Guide You
Our group counselling model combines structure and flexibility to ensure every voice is valued:
- Group Intake & Assessment Each member completes a brief intake form and meets briefly one-on-one with Dr Lydiah to outline personal goals and any confidentiality needs.
- Establishing Group Norms Together, you co-create guidelines—confidentiality, respectful listening, and turn-taking—to build a safe container.
- Thematic Module Delivery Sessions revolve around core themes (communication, boundaries, self-esteem, conflict resolution) using exercises drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodrama, and mindfulness.
- Peer Feedback & Reflection We facilitate structured feedback loops where members practice reflective listening and offer constructive support.
- Ongoing Monitoring & Adaptation At regular intervals, she reviews group progress, revises themes based on emerging needs, and celebrates collective milestones.
