Mandurah Counselling Services

Here are three questions you might consider asking when starting therapy:

1. What therapeutic approach do you use, and how does it align with my needs?
2. What can I expect in terms of the therapy process, including session frequency and duration?
3. How will we track progress and determine when therapy goals have been met?

The frequency of counselling sessions can vary depending on individual needs. It’s typically recommended to start with fortnightly sessions, but this can change over time. Some individuals may benefit from monthly sessions once progress has been made. The ideal frequency should be discussed and decided upon with your therapist based on your specific goals and challenges.

Counsellors often charge lower fees than psychologists. The cost of mental health services can vary based on the provider’s qualifications, location, and the type of therapy offered. Counsellors typically have different educational backgrounds and may offer more affordable options. Find out about our practice charges on our therapy costs page.
