Therapy is a major commitment, both in terms of time and money. The sessions last for 50 minutes once a week. Although some clients prefer more than one session a week. You are also expected to do some tasks or between sessions activities that can make you practice the new skills and abilities in their real environment. These tasks are agreed between you and your counsellor and have the goal of transferring what you have gained during the sessions to where the problem occurs.
Research demonstrates that clients who carry out homework assignments get better faster and stay better longer. Your self-help homework might include keeping track of your moods, thoughts and behaviours, scheduling activities, developing goals, challenging your negative thoughts, changing the way you communicate with others, or whatever is deemed necessary for your specific problem.
