How many sessions are needed?

This is a bit of "How long is a piece of string?" type of question.

Some issues such as the one I work with in GP surgeries can be addressed with a limited number of sessions typically 6-10. Other issues that are perhaps less clear to the client and which are more deep seated, can take longer to resolve satisfactorily.

The honest answer to this question - although perhaps a little unhelpful - is: "It will take as long as it takes".

However, whatever is agreed after the initial consultation is never fixed in stone. At all times you, the client, are in charge and under no obligation to do anything you do not want to. You can stop therapy or extend it whenever you choose.
