How often will we meet?

Sessions are usually held weekly at a regular time. In some cases, we may agree on a different frequency depending on your needs.

​

How many sessions will I need?

This varies from person to person. Some people attend for a short, focused period (e.g. 6–12 sessions), while others choose longer-term therapy. We can review this together as we go.
