When people come to counselling, they’re often looking to make changes in their lives. There’s no set timeline for how long therapy will take to meet personal goals—everyone’s journey is unique. How long it takes can depend on where someone is in their healing process, their life’s practical circumstances, and the specific challenges they’re dealing with. The goal of counselling is to empower people to create the changes they want in their lives. Change happens at its own pace for each individual, and the therapeutic relationship is all about working together.
