Shrink Thinks Small Groups are the Way Forward



Sydney based psychologist is revolutionizing the way mental health servives are provided and predicts this is the way most therpy will be carried out in the future.



Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) May 19, 2006



A new company in Sydney is changing the way psychological services are being delivered. Most of the 15,457 registered psychologists in Australia only offer individual consultations – meaning prices are high and waiting lists can be long.



Condor Performance™ (owned and operated by registered Sport Psychologist Gareth J. Mole) offers only group workshops, which cover many of the same techniques, but at a fraction of the price of seeing a practitioner one-on-one.



“Working in groups has several massive advantages,” says Mole. “It allows us to keep the price down so that a lot more people can attend and get the benefits of what we offer. Also, small groups create the perfect environment for learning from fellow attendees. The psychologist is more of a facilitator rather than a guru or authority. Finally, the support that the group members give each other during and most importantly after the workshops is one of our most powerful psychological interventions.”



Currently, Condor Performance offer workshops in a number of different areas including weight control skills for children and adults, sport psychology for amateur golfers and sporting teams, and helping older adults stay active for longer. More workshops are being added all the time (to find out more visit www. condorperformance. com).



Did you think you had to be either rich or mentally ill (or both) before seeking the services of a psychologist? Not any more…
