Therapy is a process that is going to look different for every client, due to the personalized nature of any solutions and the different problems everyone faces in their lives. You can expect to be asked to talk about current events in your life at therapy sessions, along with past events in your life when they relate to the things being discussed. Sessions often include reporting back to the therapist on any insights you gained reflecting on prior sessions, and how you've progressed. Many clients are recommended to continue reading relevant books or working on therapy outside of the sessions with the counselor.

The duration of therapy is entirely dependent on the individual clients, as while some clients will only require short term therapy, others may need it over a longer period. However, therapy is a two-way street, and it's important that clients work with us and participate in sessions actively, in order to get the best results. They will get more out of treatment sessions if they put more effort into them.

Confidentiality is one of the most important aspects of therapy, ensuring privacy between a therapist and their clients to guarantee trust. While the topics discussed in sessions cannot and will not be shared to anyone without your explicit written permission, there are a small number of situations in which law and professional ethics do require the therapist to breach confidentiality.

• If the therapist has good reason to suspect that their client is in danger of harming themselves or plans to harm another person.
• If the therapist suspects past or present abuse or neglect of dependents, especially children, they may be required to report it to relevant authorities based on the client's statements.
