How long does counselling last?
Each session normally runs for 1hr. The number of sessions that a person has, and how often they attend counselling depends on each person's situation.
Short-term therapy is normally between 6-10 sessions, with sessions occurring weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. People may begin with weekly sessions and then decide to have fortnightly or monthly sessions as their situation improves.
Short-term therapy usually focuses on one specific issue while longer-term therapy can be used to address a number of areas in a person's life.
