18.01.2022 One of the most common questions we get is how many sessions will I need with a psychologist. Whilst some issues can be resolved after just a few sessions other issues can sometimes be more complicated and deeply entrenched. Whilst our psychologists will attempt to help you overcome your issues as quickly as possible, they also do not believe in band-aid therapy or unsustainable quick fixes. We know that sometimes effectively overcoming a long-standing issue can take a lot more time but your psychologist will always discuss this with you based on your needs. To book an appointment call 9809 4888, and we'll match you with a psychologist that suits your needs.
