Sessions: Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions should I attend?

Everyone is different and individual sessions can be attended as needed. As a general guide, a brief focused therapy programme typically involves about 4, 8 or 12 therapy hours in addition to home practice. Ongoing support is also available where appropriate for longer term goals. If in doubt, start by booking a single session where we can assess and get started on a plan of action. You can then build on this, in a modular way, at a pace that’s right for you.

Are all sessions virtual?

Yes, sessions are carried out by secure live video link, or over the phone. Research shows that attending this way is just as effective as in person. The added benefits are that distance or accessibility are not an issue and it’s a convenient and environmentally friendly way to attend. You just need a quiet private space and a connection.

How often should I attend?

Like attending physiotherapy, practice between sessions is an important part of the process. The aim is to have sessions close enough together for continuity, while far enough apart to allow for practice in your own time. Typical attendance is somewhere between weekly and monthly.

What is the experience like of attending?

We use a simple but sophisticated virtual system that lets you easily attend using your computer, tablet or phone. Before attending, the platform will help you to choose a time that suits and complete an online intake process.

When you attend by video or phone you’ll be able to talk with your therapist, and—with video—see them and any worksheets live on screen. After the session, your session notes, tools and any multimedia supports will be there for you to easily access on the online support platform.
