Counselling Psychotherapy Process
Within one to four counselling sessions, my client and I come to explore the presented problem and reach an agreement about how to proceed from there. For some clients this process can be sufficient to achieve the desired clarity and relief around their situation, and to make the necessary changes. Others may wish to continue on, and to explore their experiences more deeply. At this point we discuss the number of sessions and the length of time estimated to achieve the desired goals.
In my practice, counselling and psychotherapy consultations are generally 50 minutes for individuals and 60 minutes for couples. The frequency of counselling sessions can vary from once or twice a week to fortnightly, according to client's needs and the issue at hand.
Depending on the presented issue, my client and I will jointly consider if the therapy’s goal is achievable in a short period of time (i.e. 12 to 25 sessions in Brief Psychodynamic Psychotherapy) or in medium to longer term (i.e. from 6 months to one year or longer).
