It depends entirely on the client and the type of therapy session that they want. For example, it’s normal to have telephone or online counselling sessions more frequently, say once a week. Whereas face-to-face counselling sessions might be less often, maybe every two weeks or once a month. If they wish, clients can use a mixture of counselling session types. This is a good way to get the benefits of each type if they cannot fit in a weekly face-to-face session. Normally, a weekly session is recommended at first. But the sessions can become less frequent as the couples work through their problems.
Again, it’s different for each relationship. Some people only need a few sessions to resolve their issues. Whereas for some couples who may be married and have a family together, it could take longer. This is because there are other people to consider. Each talking point may have different implications for their family, so can take longer to work through. Normally, I'll complete six sessions with my clients before doing a review. This is when we'll discuss whether they feel the need to continue with the sessions or not.
It’s not essential that both parties are present at every session. If each person has their own issues which are affecting their relationship, then individual sessions can be really useful. But for the most part, it's best if both parties attend every time, as it's the best way for them to work through their issues together. Coming to the sessions together often encourages people to listen to each other in a calm and proactive way. This can have a really positive impact on their everyday interactions with each other.

Yi Shan was an incredible help to my mental health. She is very clear on her session goals and outlines the journey she wishes to take with you. Her in-depth knowledge of neuroscience helped me understand why I was feeling or behaving in certain situations. Her gentle approach to tackling issues made it a safe space for me to open up and be honest with myself. It wouldn't hurt to add that her charismatic and humorous nature takes off the pressure of opening up. I came in with the intention of sharing all my problems and hoping to find a solution to everything that was bothering me. However, she carefully extracts powerful experiences and teaches me meaningful skills and lessons that I can apply across different aspects of my life. She gave me the power to overcome my present and future obstacles with great stability and peace.

After several false starts with therapists, I can only say that I wish I had found Matt sooner! Over five years, I have seen multiple therapists to address issues relating to anxiety, depression and workplace stress. With unsatisfying results, I was highly sceptical about seeing another therapist; more fundamentally, I was utterly pessimistic about the possibility of being happy and free again. My scepticism proved unfounded. Matt helped me articulate the origins of deeply embedded patterns of self-defeating thinking and negative beliefs, which enabled him to work with me to develop practical strategies for loosening their grip. He is compassionate and patient while constructively challenging when he needs to be. This appropriate challenge of my negative perceptions, combined with empathy and kindness from Matt, is immensely helpful. The process resulted in me being much better at work, building up the confidence to apply for a new job (which would have been unimaginable before I started therapy with Matt) and my relationship with my partner!
