Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical therapy session look like?
The first appointment will be an initial assessment. During this time we will gather information about why you’re presenting to therapy or any difficulties you’re currently facing, a historical and family background, as well as your hopes for therapy. From this we will have a better understanding of the issues we’re working with and which approach is best. We can then proceed with standard sessions on a regular basis (weekly or fortnightly). It’s usually best to stick to the same date and time for each session.
How long will I need to be in therapy?
Therapy can be as long or short as needed, depending on the individual’s circumstances. Short to medium therapy can be anything from 4 to 16 sessions. Longer term therapy may be several months long. This is something that will be discussed after the assessment process. There is no obligation to remain in therapy if you are not finding it beneficial, therefore you can end at any time. However, planning your ending is an important part of the therapeutic process, therefore I would recommend giving ample time in order to do this well.
