What timescales should we expect for counselling?

[Gwink]

DH and I are in the middle of a crisis based on his attempt at an affair. He has organised counselling (as a last-ditch attempt to avoid me kicking him out) and we had our first session last night.

We both agreed it was really helpful, but having contacted the counsellor, he has suggested we meet again in 2 weeks! That seems way too long for me. I would expect to spread the sessions out as we go on, but I was hoping for more like 2 sessions per week at this stage?

Am I being unrealistic?

I would normally arrange to meet weekly with clients at first.

Thank you Sooty. DH has contacted him and he's happy to see us on Sunday. Important decisions rest on the outcome of this counselling so 2 weeks feels like a lifetime!

Good luck: hope you get a successful outcome!

I put myself through counselling a few years ago and I found it a huge help and was lucky to find the right counsellor first time. I had three months worth although toward the end, the sessions were further apart. Don't expect too much too soon as it takes a while to work through everything and you may also find some surprises along the way that may take the counselling in different directions to those you may have initially anticipated. All the best to you and I hope you work things out and if you can't I hope the counselling helps you to separate as well as you can.

Thank you both.
