Some are guided by the following logic: "I'm an introvert, so a group form of work won't suit me," or "my husband won't agree to couple therapy, so I have to go to individual therapy," or "group therapy is more fun, so I go there ".
But you should proceed not from what circumstances condition you, but from what problem you are trying to solve 
And to select an effective tool for a specific task.
And to select an effective tool for a specific task.No one type of therapy is better or worse than the other 
They just have different goals.

When individual therapy is suitable for you:
When you contact a psychologist for the first time. For a quality effect, it is important to build a trusting relationship and your maximum frankness - at the beginning, this is easier to achieve when communicating with a specialist one-on-one.
When you feel a high level of anxiety, insecurity and the danger of the world around you. Being in such a vulnerable state is not the best time to "come out", so be kind to yourself and take minimal risks.
When you see the problem not in the behavior of other people, but in yourself. "I'm not like that" is a sufficient request for an individual consultation with a psychologist.When you need to process a traumatic experience that is difficult to share with others.
In what cases will couple psychological counseling help: When you have already done everything possible on your part and you think that you need the involvement of a partner to solve a problem or conflict. When you have already tried individual consultations, and realized that the problem is not only yours. When the two of you are trying to solve some external problem (improve your intimate life, recover from stressful events, survive a loss), but you lack the necessary knowledge and qualifications.
Group therapy is suitable when: You are confused by the feeling of isolation - as if everyone around you is living a fulfilling life, and only you are not able to do anything. Do you consider yourself an introvert or a shy extrovert? When a group works, part of the time you can be not in the center of attention, but in the role of an observer, sometimes it is easier than being "in the palm of your hand" during individual work. You consciously seek to discuss a traumatic experience with people who have also experienced it, while relying on the support of a specialist psychologist.
Also, you can always come to an individual session and get a psychologist's advice about which therapy will be the most appropriate in your case.
