People who come to therapy have different expectations about the process and how long they expect to stay in treatment. This often changes over the course of treatment and from time to time the therapist normally explores how the client is feeling about the progress.υ.

Some people view psychotherapy as part of their pursuit for expanded personal growth while others see it as a means of support and healing during a critical period.
The duration of treatment depends on many factors, such as your personal goals, the complexity of the situation you are experiencing, the amount and quality of support you might have from your environment and your expectations from the treatment.
Furthermore, each person has their own personal rates of processing and growth in relation to the issues they want to resolve. That is why it is not possible to determine in advance how long it will take for the healing process to complete.
However, you may wish to discuss with the therapist the option of having a limited number of sessions targeting very specific issues.
