A woman is not defined by the expectations of others, but by the courage to walk her own path.

Group therapy

Groups for Women

These groups provide a trusting and empowering space for women seeking support on their journey toward mental health and personal growth. For some women, it is easier to open up and confide in a group exclusively for women. This setting may make it easier to discuss potentially sensitive topics such as body image, menstrual cycles, eating behaviors, sexuality, and more. Additionally, an all-women group offers a safe space to openly share experiences with misogyny, patriarchal structures, or instances of violence.

The groups are designed for women facing various mental health challenges and concerns, including:

Depression
Anxiety and panic attacks
Social anxiety
Burnout, stress management, and work-related issues
Self-esteem challenges and self-doubt
Problems with impulsivity and emotional regulation
Relationship and family conflicts
Sexuality and intimacy
Friendships and interpersonal relationships
And much more…

Procedure and start of group therapy

1. Contact by e-mail

Interested parties can contact me by e-mail to express their wish to participate. Please briefly state your request and your telephone number. Send your enquiry to mail@psychotherapie-ploch.de

2. Short preliminary telephone conversation

After receiving your e-mail, I will contact you by telephone for a brief preliminary discussion. This will give you the opportunity to ask your questions and receive initial information about the process and content of the group therapy. At the same time, we will use this conversation to gain an initial impression of your individual needs and goals.

3. Personal one-to-one meeting with me

After the preliminary telephone consultation, we will arrange a personal one-to-one consultation with me. In this meeting, you will have the opportunity to describe your personal situation in more detail and clarify your therapy concerns. An initial diagnostic assessment will also be carried out to determine whether group therapy meets your individual needs.

4. Diagnostics and clarification of therapy needs

In further individual counselling sessions, a comprehensive diagnosis is carried out in order to better understand your specific psychological problems and needs. At the same time, your therapeutic concerns are clarified in order to determine the goals and focus of the treatment.

5. Trial session in the group

After the diagnosis and clarification of the therapy concerns, I will invite you to a trial session in the group. This trial session allows you to gain a first impression of the group dynamics, the content and the working style of the group. At the same time, the group members also have the opportunity to get to know you and adjust to you.

6. Application to the health insurance company

If you decide to take part in group therapy after the trial session, I will send an application to your health insurance company, as they have to authorise the therapy, which they usually always do. The costs for group therapy are covered by statutory health insurance.
