Counselling sessions will last for up to one hour, and the number and frequency of sessions will be discussed and agreed with you. The number of sessions a client needs varies from person to person.
Your counsellor might suggest that you mutually agree to work together for 6 sessions. Generally, 6-10 sessions is considered short-term therapy, whereas longer term therapy is considered to be more than 10 sessions. The number of sessions will depend on each client's individual needs, and can of course be discussed further.
