Treatment length and frequency of sessions depends on the overall situation. In some cases, a small number of sessions is sufficient for consulting about a very specific problem or question, like dealing with a tricky relationship or external stressor. Typically, more regular sessions are needed to work on longstanding or ‘really sticky’ emotional, interpersonal, or workplace issues - this may mean 12-18 weekly sessions, if possible, or longer-term therapy spanning months or years. Healing takes time - and is bound to happen under the right conditions.
