INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS
Focused work. Practical change. A clear path forward.
Adelaide Strategic Therapy is not designed around indefinite weekly, fortnightly or monthly therapy for one presenting problem. The work is structured, focused and practical, looking at the patterns that keep anxiety, overthinking, self-doubt or other difficulties going.
One session can create insight, clarity or an important first shift. But meaningful pattern change generally benefits from continuity, repetition and the opportunity to practise different responses in real life.
WHY SIX SESSIONS?
One session can create insight. Lasting pattern change usually requires more.
One session can create insight or an important shift, but meaningful pattern change generally requires continuity, repetition and the opportunity to practise and consolidate new responses. For anxiety-focused work, Adelaide Strategic Therapy generally recommends six sessions because this gives enough continuity to identify the patterns maintaining the problem, notice how they show up across situations, practise different responses, apply them in real life and consolidate change over time. The six-session structure exists to give the work enough continuity to be useful — not to keep you in therapy longer than necessary. The aim is focused work over a defined period, not therapy for the sake of therapy.
A first session that gives us somewhere clear to begin.
The Initial Strategic Therapy Session can be booked independently. If a structured six-session program is appropriate for your goals, it may be recommended after your initial session. Therapy remains collaborative and individual.
Adults 18+ only. A minimum of 48 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment.
