The standard time for a counselling session is 50 minutes. The
prospect of talking to someone for that length of time can be quite
overwhelming, but once a session gets going, the end of the session
comes sooner than you think.
During the first session, the initial
few minutes will normally be spent establishing a working agreement;
and in the weeks after there migh be a welcome and a recap from the week
before at the start.
The main body of the session is spent
exploring the issues that have been brought to the session and the last
few minutes may involve a summary of what has been discussed and
arrangements made for the next session.
After a few sessions a
review of progress may take up around half of a session, and the final
session usually involves a larger summary where the client can reflect
on the progess that has been made and endings are discussed.
