Psychotherapy
Individual sessions of psychotherapy or 'talking therapy' are 50 minutes, with an average number of sessions being 8-10, although this depends on the client's difficulties.
Meaningful change does take time. It is always the client's right to discontinue therapy at any stage, although it is helpful to keep an open mind for the first two sessions and then reassess. It’s fine if you want to turn up with the objective of understanding your difficulties and not necessarily commit to therapy.
Cost
Sessions are 50 mins and $205 (inc gst). I often recommend we make the first session, when there is more ground to cover, 90 mins ($310), but this is optional.
Cancellations must be at least 24 hours in advance, or full payment will be expected.
