Groups and Psychoeducation

Structured, practical support — without emotional pressure

Alongside individual therapy, I offer small, structured psychoeducational groups focused on understanding neurodivergent nervous systems and supporting regulation in everyday life.

 

This work sits between therapy and self-help.

It is designed to provide clarity, reassurance, and practical ideas — without requiring emotional disclosure or personal sharing.

What to expect

 

Groups are:

  • Psychoeducational (not therapy)

  • Structured and predictable

  • Grounded in neurodivergent-affirming practice

  • Practical rather than problem-focused

  • Emotionally safe and contained​

 

Participants are welcome to listen quietly and take what feels useful.

There is no expectation to share personal experiences.

​Current Group Offering (2026)

Supporting Regulation in Autistic Children

This small, online group is designed for parents of children with autism who want to better understand regulation and learn practical ways to support their child’s nervous system.

 

Rather than focusing on behaviour management or “fixing” difficulties, the group explores how regulation works, why overload happens, and what kinds of support are most helpful for autistic nervous systems.

 

Key themes include:

 

  • How autistic nervous systems process stress and sensory input

  • Why common regulation strategies often fail — and what helps instead

  • Sensory, environmental, and external regulation supports

  • Recognising early signs of overload

  • Supporting regulation without increasing exhaustion (for child and parent)

Practical details

 

  • Format: Online (live)

  • This group runs over four weekly sessions.

  • Dates: Thursdays — 9, 16, 23 & 30 April

  • Time: 18:00–19:30

  • Group size: Small (maximum 8 parents)

  • Facilitator: Toni Muller, Counselling Psychologist

  • Cost: R1,600 per person

Important note

This group is psychoeducational and practical, not therapy. It does not involve individual assessment, treatment planning, or emotional processing. Sharing personal experiences is optional.

Completing the form registers interest only. Full details will be shared before any commitment or payment is required.

Future groups

 

Additional psychoeducational groups may be offered during the year, depending on capacity. These may include:

 

  • Regulation support for neurodivergent adults

  • Parent guidance around sensory overload and burnout

  • Understanding anxiety through a nervous-system lens

 

Details will be shared via the website when available.

If you’re unsure whether a group is the right fit, you’re welcome to read through the information above.

I’m not able to offer individual advice about suitability via email or messaging.

Psychoeducation can be a powerful way to reduce uncertainty and build confidence — especially when emotional energy is limited.

 

These groups are designed to support understanding, not to add pressure.
