What can I expect from Therapy?
HOW LONG DOES THERAPY LAST?
Therapy is tailored to you and your situation. Some people experience meaningful shifts within
a few sessions. Others benefit from longer-term, in-depth work to address longstanding patterns.
If you are seeking focused, short-term work, 4–6 sessions may be appropriate.
More complex difficulties may require a longer process.
HOW LONG IS A SESSION?
Individual sessions: 50 minutes
Couples first session: 1 hour 40 minutes
Ongoing couples sessions: 60 minutes
IS EVERYTHING I SHARE CONFIDENTIAL?
Sessions are confidential. Information will only be shared if there is an
immediate risk to your safety or the safety of others, or if required by law.
"Therapy cannot remove difficulty in life,
but it can help you develop greater understanding, resilience and healthier ways of coping."
HOW DO I KNOW IF A THERAPIST IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR ME?
It is important that you feel comfortable and understood in therapy. You may not know whether the fit is right until you have had an opportunity to meet. If you would to meet first to gauge this, book a free 15 minute intro session to see.
HOW DO I GET THE MOST FROM MY SESSIONS?
Before your session, consider what you would like to work on
and what outcomes you hope to achieve.
After sessions, allow time to reflect on
insights and implement any agreed steps.
