The duration of therapy can depend on many factors, including the nature of your issues, the type of therapy in question, and, of course, the attitude of both client and therapist. It is essential to regularly review the process with your therapist. Communication about the duration of therapy is important, as successful therapy frequently depends on both therapist and client being on the same page.

There is no rule as to how long therapy should continue, and usually therapist and client will agree on when it is appropriate to finish therapy.

A shorter course of therapy may encompass between 6 and 12 sessions, while other clients continue for several years. Above all, this is a topic that needs to be discussed regularly with your therapist.
