Group Programmes are held in The Change Room - a Alpha Counselling initiative designed to help you think outside the square.
The Change Room is the place to think differently, a think tank, and has a playful atmosphere to help create solutions to difficult problems. It is a creative space with whiteboards at ankle level, lounges with legs, and beanbags. One entire wall is painted with a picture that stimulates future planning and goal setting.
This is a space where you can continue on your passage of transformation and change.
This is your place to think differently.
