That’s a good question! Many people like to start with weekly or biweekly sessions to get the ball rolling, but we can decide together what works best for you and your unique circumstance. It may depend on your schedule, finances, and what you are working on in therapy. You can choose to space sessions out as you go along.
-
Another great question! This really depends on what you are working on and what works for you. Many people come for an average of 6-12 sessions, however, some people come for more than that and some less. For deep or complex issues such as processing childhood trauma or relational attachment issues, longer-term counselling may be helpful. We can check in as we go along to see what your needs are and how you’ll know when you feel ready to end counselling. You can always pause or take a break from counselling at any time.
