What will happen if I go for counselling / psychotherapy?
Counselling/psychotherapy usually involves regular meetings (lasting about an hour) at the same time and same place every week or two weeks. After an initial assessment, the therapist decides on a course of action that s/he will discuss with the client. This includes devising a therapeutic approach, agreeing on goals, and establishing a target length of treatment.   The length of the treatment is usually agreed within a month or so of starting. In couples or family therapy, the relevant individuals will meet with the therapist together. These sessions may be longer than in individual psychotherapy and a greater number of sessions are sometimes required. What happens during a session is completely confidential between the therapist and the client(s).
