How long will I be in Counselling/Psychotherapy for?
There is not a typical time for someone to be in counselling/psychotherapy – depending on what you bring, what you would like to work on and in what depth. Short-term Counselling tends to be anything from 6 weeks to a year or more. Long-term Psychotherapy, which is about real change, tends to take longer. Psychotherapy usually explores issues in greater depth and leaves a more lasting effect.
