Counselling Psychotherapy Process
True work around life crisis and self development can not be a one off event. Counselling and psychotherapy are processes, not miracles.
Within one to four meetings, we will come to explore your presented problem and reach a new understanding. It may be that this brief experience can be sufficient for you to achieve the desired clarity and relief around your situation, and to make the necessary changes. It may be that these explorative sessions can be helpful in defining your present situation in a new light and that you may wish to continue on, and explore your experiences more deeply. We will come to an agreement about how to proceed from there. At this point, we will 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 a week to twice a week or fortnightly, according to your needs and the issue at hand.
Depending on the presented issue, you and I will jointly consider if the therapy’s goal is achievable in a short period of time (i.e. 10 to 25 sessions in Brief Psychodynamic Psychotherapy) or in medium to longer term (i.e. from 6 months to one year or longer).
