Frequently Asked Questions

 

  • All assessment sessions, and individual and couples therapy sessions last 50 minutes.

  • This is a difficult question; some people begin therapy with a time limited goal. They may come to psychotherapy seeking structured, shorter-term therapy, for example - 8 sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Others come for a longer period of psychotherapy that is much lengthier. Complex problems take longer to understand and resolve.

  • We need to do a bit of an assessment at the outset of therapy. The first session will be with both couple members, and we will talk about what brings you to see us and the history and details of some of the issues that concern you. Then your therapist will have 1 to 2 individual sessions with each couple member. Individual sessions are not designed to hold secrets but to learn about each of you as individuals so we can better understand the couple dynamic. Then there will be a feedback session where your therapist will share ideas and plans with you based on what you’re seeking. All further sessions will always be for both couple members.
