BEGINNING THERAPY – WHAT IS INVOLVED?


The intial meeting is an assessment process. This will enable you to work out with the therapist whether you can work together, and to work out the duration and mode of therapy to be followed. 

Some people may need to focus on particular issues – and for therapy to be time limited – say between six to twelve sessions. This is particulary suited to those seeking help  under  Medicare's 'Better Outcomes in Mental Health.' It may be, though,  that after this is finished, you decide you wish to continue onto a more open ended and longer term therapy. This would be negotiated at the time.

LONG TERM   - Some may feel their issues are more complex and wish to have an open ended arrangement  to understand themlseves. Longer term work is possible for couples and individuals. Group therapy entails a long term commitment.
