There is strong evidence to conclude that counseling is an effective method of addressing a variety of psychological issues and to improve a person’s quality of life.

The American Psychological Association (2012) passed a resolution highlighting such effectiveness. It includes a reference list of research studies that demonstrated its effectiveness in a variety of psychological issues and settings.

Therapy duration will be dependent on a variety of factors, such as the nature and severity of the presenting issues, treatment goals, and cost/ lifestyle considerations. Conventionally, sessions are done on a weekly basis. Depending on the factors mentioned, sessions can also be done based on the client’s availability (e.g. once every two weeks, once a month).

Short-term therapy is defined as having 12 sessions or less. Oftentimes, these sessions can be effective in addressing specific and targeted goals. Click here to learn how to make the best use of short-term therapy.

Whether you are keen on short-term or longer term sessions, there is evidence to show that the counseling process is helpful in addressing mental health issues (click here for an example of short-term therapy outcomes, and click here for an example of long-term therapy outcomes). Clients will usually report significant improvement in their functioning a few sessions in.

Counseling is always collaborative. While your therapist may have recommendations on the frequency of sessions to effectively meet your goals, you are able to choose the frequency and amount of sessions that you would like to have. Your therapist will collaboratively alter your goals with you so that they can be effectively met through the session(s). Similarly, you and your therapist will be able to work towards ending of sessions based on what you think is best.

Ultimately, therapy sessions are your choice. Kindly discuss with your therapist in arriving at the best arrangement in meeting your needs.
