Welcome to Schoen Clinic Chelsea, a premier destination in London for highly specialised group therapy. Our clinic offers a diverse range of group mental health therapy sessions, designed to support individuals in their journey towards mental wellness.
We provide specialised therapy for various conditions, including (but not limited to) eating disorders, anxiety and depression. While we also offer group therapy as part of inpatient treatment at our eating disorder hospitals for children in Birmingham and adults in York, this page focuses on the private group therapies available at our London mental health clinic.
What is group therapy?
Group therapy is a therapeutic approach where multiple individuals meet with one or more therapists to discuss and work through shared experiences. These sessions often fall under the umbrella of "talking therapies," also known as psychotherapies, which include various approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychoanalytic therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
This format offers a supportive community, allowing participants to learn from each other’s experiences, share coping strategies, and receive mutual encouragement. The group setting can be particularly beneficial for those feeling isolated, providing a sense of belonging and understanding.
Benefits of Group Therapy
Participating in group mental health therapy offers several key benefits:
Shared Experiences: Participants realise they are not alone in their struggles, which can reduce feelings of isolation and stigma.
Peer Support: Group members provide valuable support and encouragement to each other, creating a strong network of care.
Diverse Perspectives: Exposure to different viewpoints can enhance personal growth and understanding.
Skill Development: Group settings allow for the development of social skills, emotional regulation, and other essential coping strategies.
Cost-Effective Care: Compared to individual therapy, group sessions often provide a more affordable option for receiving professional care. Single group sessions at Schoen Clinic Chelsea start from £195.

Group therapy is a versatile and effective approach suitable for a wide range of individuals dealing with various mental health challenges. Group mental health therapy can be particularly beneficial for those facing the following issues:
Depression and anxiety

Group Eating Disorder Therapy
Our group eating disorder therapy sessions are specifically designed for individuals dealing with conditions such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. These groups focus on understanding the psychological and emotional factors underlying disordered eating behaviours and promoting healthier relationships with food and body image. Participants benefit from a supportive environment where they can share experiences and strategies for recovery.
Group Addiction Therapy
Group addiction therapy at Schoen Clinic Chelsea provides a safe space for individuals struggling with substance abuse or behavioural addictions. These sessions, which include alcohol addiction support groups, focus on identifying triggers, developing coping mechanisms, and supporting sobriety. Participants gain insight into their addiction and benefit from the shared experiences of others in similar situations, providing a sense of community and collective strength.
Anxiety Support Groups
Our anxiety support groups are designed to help individuals manage and reduce anxiety symptoms. These sessions utilise techniques such as Integrative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychoeducation on emotional regulation. Individuals seeking anxiety support may find these groups particularly beneficial as they learn practical tools for managing anxiety, enhancing resilience, and improving overall well-being.
Depression Support Groups
For those dealing with depression, our depression support groups offer a compassionate and supportive environment. These sessions focus on strategies for managing depressive symptoms, promoting positive thinking, and improving emotional health. Group therapy provides participants with a space to express their feelings, share experiences, and develop effective coping strategies.
Anorexia Support Groups
Our anorexia support groups provide targeted support for individuals affected by anorexia. These sessions address issues related to body image, self-esteem, and the pressures that contribute to disordered eating patterns. Through shared experiences and therapeutic guidance, participants are encouraged to develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies.
