DO YOU STILL HAVE SOME DOUBTS?
-
How long does a psychological therapy last?It's one of the most frequent questions patients ask themselves, especially before starting, and the answer is "It depends". There is no set rule, and it is impossible to establish a duration a priori for anyone because each person is different, and so are the problems that lead them to seek support. There are situations or problems that can be addressed with a short and targeted approach, while others require more time both for exploration and to allow the patient to develop those skills and implementing the necessary changes to solve the problem, which he cannot expected to implement overnight. In any case, the frequency of the interviews can be agreed on based on the situation, and possibilities of the patient, who will be free to decide to continue, interrupt or modify the duration of the process at any time and without any constraints.
-
How long is an ONLINE session?The first free meeting phone call lasts 20 minutes: besides introduing himself and the reason for which he is seeking support, the patient can ask questions about the support process, how it works and receive clarifications on any doubts. The regular psychological support sessions last 50 minutes.
-
What if I have to cancel a session?Scheduled sessions can be canceled for any reason and at any time up to 48 hours before the date and time of the session. Within 48 hours prior to the appointment, if the patient needs to cancel and an alternative time slot is available, it will be offered to the patient and the session rescheduled (this option cannot be guaranteed though); otherwise it may still be rescheduled, but the canceled session will be charged.
-
What are the available times for sessions?Since it is an online path, the session times tend to be flexible, and are agreed upon based on the availability of my agenda and the patient's.
-
How does ONLINE sessions work?The sessions are carried out on online platforms such as Google Meet, through ad hoc links that are created and sent to you via email/Whatsapp, etc. so that you can connect only by clicking on the link you received.
