Sessions
Standard clinic sessions last 50 minutes although more intensive home/community based therapy may be offered in some cases. This would typically pertain to the treatment of certain types of OCD or Agoraphobia. The number of sessions required depends on the nature and complexity of the presenting problem. In my experience this can vary from 3-30 with a suggested number of initial sessions agreed at assessment. If appropriate clients are also offered follow up sessions once treatment is complete to reduce the risk of future relapse.
