Group counseling :

Group counseling is counseling with multiple individuals facing a similar concern. The strength in group counseling is that if you have 3, 5 or 10 people together all facing the same issue or similar issues, then they can work together. For example, group counseling is common for those in the midst of a divorce. The individuals in the group act as a source of insight and support while reinforcing the idea that each individual is not the only one experiencing these problems.
