Some of my clients choose to use psychotherapy as a tool for building resilience, personal growth or simply want to learn how to have more fullfilling relationships with people they care about (i.e. being better parents or partners). In my profesional experience, clients can benefit from therapy in any circumstances and attain more fullfilling lives, especially when decide to engage with the therapeutic process fully.
  • How many session will I need?
    It is difficult to estimate a number of sessions needed as they may be multiple factors involved ( e.g. the complexity of the presenting issues, how often do you attend your appointments, factors such as unexpected comlications and/or major life events).

Some clients choose to have one to 3 sessions to address current or acute concerns,others decide to work on more complex aspects of their experience. Generally, more complex and severe problems require more sessions to attain recovery. Research suggests that approximately 30% of clients reported that 3 session to notice benefits of attending, 50% of clients reported worthwile benefits after 8 sessions, and 75% after 14 ( Lambert, 2013).
