Do You Offer Couple's Counselling?
No, I only provide individuals counselling.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The first two sessions involve a comprehensive sexual history intake and assessment. The third session involves goal setting and treatment planning.
Many sexual problems can be solved without intensive therapy. The number of sessions required will depend on your level of commitment and consistency with therapy. Weekly to fortnightly sessions are recommended in the early stages of therapy.
