affordable self-compassion remedies via educational courses / group therapy

affordable self-compassion remedies via educational courses / group therapy

hi

 

I lost some of my funding for psychology appointments and am trying to find leads on affordable alternatives. The specific leads I am chasing are group therapy services and support groups, and self-compassion tools and skills.

 

I found this listing but it is for a program that will not resume until 2026.

https://www.diverseandthriving.com.au/group-therapy

 

I am hoping for pointers to psychology practices and support groups that might offer educational courses or ongoing group therapy, accessible online or in south-east Qld locations.

Hoping to learn about self-compassion.

hiya @7cough9!

 

thought i'd share some sites that can hopefully help narrow your search:

 

Find the Best Group Therapy and Support Groups in Australia | Psychology Today

 

Find a Psychologist | APS

 

you can enter your postcode into these search engine and add filters to find what's closest and best for you. hope this helps 😊

@TeaPositive I've downloaded unzipped and printed the CCI course on self-compassion. 7 modules. Thanks for putting me onto it.
