The time required for psychological counseling / psychotherapy varies from person to person. The progress is affected by various factors including the complexity, severity and duration of the problem(s), the willingness of clients to make changes, the stability of clients’ mood and mental state, clients’ previous ways to solve problems, their upbringing, support from families/friends, and their current stressors, etc.

Counselors / clinical psychologists will clarify the expectations with clients and / or their families and will define the problem(s), set goal(s) and treatment plan, as well as review the treatment progress on a regular basis in order to provide the most appropriate services to the clients.
