How long will I be in therapy for?

It’s understandable to wonder about timing, especially if you are struggling and/or are new to therapy. Everyone’s journey is unique, and there are many factors to consider, including the complexity of your issue(s), your history, access to other avenues of support, your lifestyle, and your financial situation. Short-term therapy, i.e. 6 weeks to 6 months can be beneficial for addressing one or two acute concerns such as a bereavement or single traumatic event. If you would like to look at long-standing issues, and explore the deeper roots of your experience, longer-term work may be more appropriate. Having patience with yourself and your process can make it easier to allow the shifts you seek.

The duration and focus of our work will be discussed at the start, and reviewed around every 6 weeks, or as required by your emerging needs.
