The Therapy Process
Initial Assessment
The first sessions involve an assessment process, usually conducted within the first few sessions. During this time we will:
- Explore your concerns and goals
- Understand your current situation
- Discuss what you hope to gain from therapy
- Decide together whether psychotherapy is the right approach for you
Ongoing Therapy
Following the assessment phase, psychotherapy sessions typically consist of:
- 50-minute sessions
- Weekly/Fortnightly appointments (according to your needs)
- A collaborative therapeutic relationship
- Regular review of goals and progress
Consistency is important for therapy to be effective and requires a commitment of time, energy, and self-reflection. This is a process that takes time and varies according to your goal.
Closure of Therapy
There may be a time where you feel that you have reached your goals or want to focus on other aspects of your life. This is a healthy way of moving forward with your life. It is always suggested that there is a final session to close the process and reflect on the journey that we have experienced together.
