This will depend on the presenting problem that you start with. People can get results in 2-3 sessions, particularly with NLP.  For other more complex or long-standing problems that require a CBT approach, we will agree on a certain number of sessions, which will be reviewed at regular intervals.  Most courses of CBT therapy last from 5 to 12 sessions. Throughout the therapy you will be working towards specific goals and towards becoming competent at developing the life-long skills to support yourself.

You will get out of therapy what you put in. If you are motivated to experience change in your life, then you will see changes more rapidly.

 The types of changes that take place obviously depend on the individual’s unique starting point. General outcomes of therapy include:

   •      Learning to exercise more control over your emotional and psychological states.

   •      Developing more options in your thinking and behaviour

   •      Developing skills in how you communicate and relate to the world.

   •      Being free of emotional distress arising from past events.

You will find that your self-esteem, confidence, effectiveness at work, enjoyment of relationships and motivation to work towards goals is enhanced.
