Frequency Of Sessions

• Weekly sessions to start with is highly recommended. 
• When the time is right, we go to fortnightly, then monthly until eventually you are ready to finish counselling. 
• Expect that somewhere around 15-20 sessions is needed for therapeutic work, and perhaps more will be needed depending on your unique situation.

After counselling has finished you may find it beneficial to return for a six-monthly checkup to ensure skills learnt, positive habits and behaviours continue, and to process any issues that may have developed. 

I will get to know you over a period of sessions. If needed I will help you identify your goals - what you hope to get out of this process. 

Once we have established your goals and identified your challenges we can work together therapeutically in a multitude of ways, depending on your unique needs and preferences.
