FAQs
How do I go about making an appointment?
Simply call 1300 88 45 22 to discuss any questions you may have and to organise a time and location that suits you. If we are busy you may sometimes need to leave a message and which we will respond as quickly as we are able to. We offer daytime and evening appointments from Monday to Saturday.
How long does a session last for?
Sessions usual run for 50-55 minutes which is known as the ‘therapeutic hour’. Career development sessions are 90 minutes long. Occasionally, a longer session (around 80 minutes) is organised with couples.
What can I expect in the first session?
In the initial session, your counsellor will ask a number of questions to get an understanding of the particular matters that have brought you there. He or she will gather background information, discuss your expectations and establish objectives for the therapy in collaboration with you.
How many sessions will I need?
That is really dependent on the severity and duration of the issue. Some relatively surface difficulties can be resolved in one or two sessions whilst other patterns and issues have been there a lifetime and take longer to work through. The goal of all MRC consultants is to help you move through therapy in a time-effective manner and at a pace that is both comfortable and rewarding. The average length of the counselling process is a dozen sessions held over the space of a few months.
Will talking to a counsellor help me? Is it worth the effort?
Counseling and psychotherapy do work! Whether it is support and understanding through a crisis or bringing about deep fundamental change, ‘talking it out’ with a professional can definitely make a difference. Our society is becoming increasingly accepting of psychological therapy as more and more people experience the benefits.
Is there something wrong with me that I can’t work it out for myself?
Many people feel weak or a failure when they seek professional help. On the contrary, the human mind is designed to protect us from painful experiences so no amount of ‘self-help’ will resolve certain problems. Allowing someone to see our vulnerabilities is an act of courage and strength and in itself will help move us towards our potential.
