What you're booking
Is group therapy what you need?
Six to twelve people meeting regularly with a trained facilitator, usually around a shared theme, grief, anxiety, addiction recovery, new parenthood. It costs a fraction of individual therapy and offers something individual therapy can't: hearing your own experience described by someone else. It is not for everyone, and it works badly if you're in acute crisis.

Before you book
What to check when choosing group therapy
The questions that separate a good fit from an expensive false start. Ask them before the first paid session, not after.
- 1
Ask whether the group is open or closed
Closed groups start and finish together and go deeper. Open groups let people join anytime and are easier to start but shallower.
- 2
Check the facilitator's training
Group facilitation is a specific skill. An untrained facilitator lets one person dominate and the group stops being useful.
- 3
Confirm the screening process
Good groups screen members first. If anyone can pay and join, treat that as a warning sign.
- 4
Understand the confidentiality agreement
You're sharing with strangers. Ask what members sign and what happens when someone breaks it.
What group therapy costs in India
Across the 4 platforms here that publish a rate. Anything near the low end is worth a second look at therapist qualifications; anything near the high end should come with senior therapists or a specialism.
