Initial sessions:
The initial assessment is usually for Yvonne to obtain information necessary for your treatment. As the session begins, Yvonne will go through the consent form with you to answer any questions you have, and give you some questionnaires to fill in.
Yvonne will then ask you questions about yourself, the details of the issues you bring along, as well as your family, educational/vocational, social, health histories and the sorts. You may choose to share as much as you feel comfortable to. All the information you provide will be helpful for Yvonne to make sense of what has happened in your life and where shall you go from here. At the end of the second session, Yvonne may discuss with you about your goals for your therapy, and what is realistic to achieve short (usually the first six sessions), medium, and longer terms. Yvonne may also suggest the frequency for your therapy sessions, but it is your decision to make for your treatment.
Subsequent sessions:
Once Yvonne finishes gathering all the necessary information about your concerns/problems, subsequent sessions tends to focus on a specific aspect of your issues by providing you information and practising new strategies to help you manage them bit by bit. While Yvonne will have a rough individualised plan for your treatment to fall back on, she tends to priorities working on the specific issue(s) you bring in to each appointment.
初次治療：
第一次治療預約通常是讓 Yvonne 獲取治療所需的資料。會面開始時，Yvonne 會與你一同閱讀同意書，解答你任何問題，並給你一些問卷讓你填寫。
Yvonne 會詢問你關於你自己的問題、你的困擾的詳細情況，以及你的家庭、教育/職業、社交、健康歷史等。你可以選擇分享你樂於分享的部分。你提供的所有資料將有助於 Yvonne 理解你生活中的經歷，以及未來的方向。在第二次會面結束時，Yvonne 會與你討論你對治療的目標，並根據短期（通常是前六次會面）、中期和長期的期望來評估可實現的目標。Yvonne 也會建議治療會面的頻率，但最終治療的決定是由你來做的。
後續治療：
一旦 Yvonne 完成收集有關您問題的所有必要資料，隨後的會面通常會專注於您問題的特定方面，通過提供資料和練習新策略，幫助您逐步管理這些問題。雖然 Yvonne 會有一個大致的個人化治療計劃作為參考，但她通常會優先處理您每次會面中提出的具體問題。
Depends on your current functioning, you may want to attend sessions once every one or two weeks at the beginning of your therapy to help build your momentum of therapy, e.g., gaining an understanding of your issues and practising new strategies to help manage them. Once you get in the routine of using the strategies effectively, Yvonne may discuss with you about spacing out your therapy sessions gradually to fortnightly or even monthly. As you attain your goals, you may have new goals you want to work on, or you may decide to conclude the treatment.
視乎你目前於日常生活中的運作狀況，你可能希望在治療初期每一至兩週參加一次治療，幫助建立治療的動力，例如了解你的問題並練習新策略。一旦你習慣了有效運用這些策略，Yvonne 可能會與你討論逐步將治療間隔拉長至每兩週一次或甚至每月一次。當你達成目標後，你可能會有新的目標想要繼續治療，或者你也可能決定結束治療。
How many session you need depends on the a lot of factors, such as what are the issues you bring along, how long you have been having these issues, how significant the impacts of these issues are for you, and what goals you have for therapy. For example, a functional client who brings in a very specific issue that recently arose with a specific goal may only need several sessions; whereas a client who may not be functioning well in different aspects of their life due to the profound impacts of some issues from childhood may need regular treatment for a longer period of time.
Generally, the more complex and the more long-standing the issues are, the longer the treatment usually is.
您需要多少次治療取決於很多因素，例如您帶來的問題是什麼、這些問題已經困擾您多久、這些問題對您的影響有多大，以及您對治療的目標是什麼。例如，對於一位在生活的不同方面正常運作的客戶，若帶來的是最近出現的具體問題並且有明確的目標，可能只需要幾次治療；而對於一位因童年時期的深遠影響而在生活的不同方面無法正常運作的客戶，則可能需要較長時間的定期治療。
一般而言，問題越複雜且持續時間越長，治療通常也會持續較長時間。
