Question 4

How is therapy different from talking to my friends/ significant other/ family?

Accepted Answer

Going to your trusted others is a great way to get support, but it’s not the same as talking to a therapist. Therapists provide you with an unbiased “outside” perspective that is different from what your friends may see. Sometimes people worry that if they share their problems with their friends, then they will be burdening them or that their friends will treat them differently. A therapist is a professional whose job is to support you non-judgmentally. Hopefully it will feel more comfortable for you to talk about your problems, which will make it easier to get effective help.

The duration for sessions booked under the promotional package are typically 60 minutes. However, we may occasionally recommend a longer or shorter session depending on your needs. You and your therapist will discuss the duration of the sessions as you go along in therapy.

Question 8

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions will depend on your unique situation as well as your goals for attending therapy. Most people require between 6 - 12 sessions. However, it is helpful to keep in mind that just like life, your mental health can be an undulating journey. It is perfectly normal if you require more sessions to get you where you want to be than you first thought necessary.
