Psychotherapeutic treatment can be either short-term or long-term – in some cases, lasting more than a year. The duration depends on the specific needs, the desired situation, and the nature of the concerns.
The frequency of sessions varies from person to person, but especially in the early stages, it is desirable to schedule weekly or bi-weekly sessions. This supports the progress of therapy and ensures that insights continue to evolve under the guidance of the sessions. Please also refer to ‘Additional Information’.
