THERAPEUTIC GROUPS

"There is a natural order and harmony to this world, which we can discover. But we cannot just study that order scientifically or measure it mathematically. We have to feel it - in our bones, in our hearts, in our minds". ~ Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche.

My experiential groups explore connection, embodiment, creativity, relationship and belonging. Drawing from Psychodrama, Relational Somatics, Expressive Arts and Group Process, we notice how fear, stuckness and familiar ways of protecting ourselves emerge in relationship—and experiment together with new choices, receiving support and greater aliveness.

WHAT TO EXPECT

You may be invited to notice sensation and movement, work with images or objects, take up a role, witness another person’s experience, or explore what happens between us in the room. Participation is invitational. You can pause, observe, adapt an experiment or choose not to take part. The work values dignity, difference, consent and the pace needed for trust to develop.

If being with others currently feels overwhelming, or greater stability is needed, Individual Therapy may be a more supportive starting point. My approach engages body-led, experiential and creative modalities, inviting a willingness to trust the process, express what your body is communicating, engage your imagination and experiment beyond what can be understood through words alone.

Here is a self-guided version of a prompt we might explore together — inviting you to notice your relationship with the the support around and beneath you. watch a Guided Exploration

PARTICIPANT EXPERIENCE

"Jaya's group therapy has been really valuable in helping me understand why and when I feel overwhelmed in certain settings. Through experiments, she's helped me become more aware of how my body communicates stress. I found the experience to be invaluable for resourcing myself and moving forward."  - Group Participant

Watch : Why therapeutic groups are at the heart of my practice ->

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Spaces Between -> 4 session group-Online - $55 - 1.5-hour session [3 places remain]

Monthly therapeutic groups 2027 -> In Person - $80 - 2 hour session.

A video consultation is a prerequisite before a place is confirmed in a group. It gives us time to discuss what you are looking for, any support needs and whether the group may be a good fit. After the consultation, I will explain the next steps.
