How Long does therapy take?
NLP and CBT are usually time-limited and 10 – 15 sessions may be enough. However, the length of therapy depends on clients’ individual problems and the goals that they want to achieve and it can therefore sometimes take significantly longer or shorter than that. Usually, therapist and client would meet for an initial assessment session, after which the therapist would often be able to give the client some idea on how long it might take. After therapy is completed it is helpful for clients to have a limited number of follow-up sessions, which usually have quite long time gaps between them, to monitor and maintain the progress that has been achieved.
What is the aim of NLP and CBT therapy?
The aim of NLP and CBT is for therapist and client to work together to try and understand those underlying beliefs and assumptions that are no longer helpful and affect a person’s current feelings, behaviours and functioning. Depending on the individual problems that clients are experiencing, therapist and client work together to identify goals and develop a shared treatment plan. In NLP and CBT the focus of therapy is to find solutions to the problems clients are experiencing that will help enhance effective functioning and well-being in daily life. The focus is mainly in the ‘here and now’. Sometimes it can also be very helpful for a person to focus and work through some of the negative experiences they have experienced in the past and then explore how they want to start living their life differently now.
How much does therapy cost?
Initially there is a one hour consultation free of charge with no obligation to continue. This is basically where we would have a chat about your situation and I would explain the therapy techniques. This will give you a chance to see if you would feel comfortable working with me. Thereafter the price would be £50.00 per one hour session at my practice in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.
