GroOops Information

At GroOops, we offer an empathetic and niche counselling and coaching service, based in Finchley, North London, specialising in addressing the EMOTIONAL REPERCUSSIONS OF DYSLEXIA. Our approach has also been found to help with other Neuro-Diverse conditions. At GroOops we understand the persistent feelings of anxiety, frustration, anger and depression that can sometimes impact on a dyslexic person. We appreciate the difficulties of remembering instructions, contributing to discussions and following procedures - all linked with low working memory. We understand the frustrations and the enormous amounts of energy it takes to just keep going day to day. We are all about bringing like-minded people together to build a community and having the opportunity to share life experiences through groupwork (hence our name). We also provide 1:1 counselling and coaching support at our North London base or by Skype by arrangement. Our aim it to help to boost self-esteem and self-confidence, individually, as well as in social situations, through our counselling, coaching and group work services. As we do this we will provide consistent, positive reinforcement and focus on individual and social qualities. We aim to increase resilience, self-control, self-understanding and self discipline which in turn helps to make the world an easier place to be in. We aim to encourage being in touch with the present. We help to reflect and reframe on feelings, beliefs and behaviours and encourage active choices. Our aim is to develop a sense of purpose and direction, a positive sense of control and an integrated sense of dyslexic identity. From 2007 to 2015 we have worked with over 1000 clients : 95% say they felt listened to.
