Depending on your goal, counselling can take from a few sessions to over a dozen sessions or even longer. Consider a client who is dealing with a high level of anxiety. If, for example, his or her goal is to learn some skills to cope with feelings of anxiety, he or she may only need 4-6 sessions. If, however, he or she wants to go deeper to work through underlying factors that cause and maintain his or her anxiety, more sessions will be required. Ultimately, you as the client decide how long you want the counselling to be. During the first session, I will help you identify your goal for counselling and give you a realistic estimate of the number of sessions needed to reach your goal, if that is concerning.
