How long will it take?

This depends, there are many factors: How “deep” is the problem, how long it been going on, how easy or hard is it to understand, is there one problem or many, the ways you might have been dealing with it so far, what it is you want out of the counselling, what’s going on in your life whilst you’re in counselling, and so on.

Everyone is different, so potentially counselling can go on for anytime from weeks to years. We will always try to give you and idea of how long the process will take at the First Meeting, though there is always some “educated guesswork” in this.

What’s really important is that we periodically monitor carefully and honestly if the counselling is really working. It is important to keep a “focus” and monitor the progress and the direction the counselling is taking.
