How long does therapy take?
Therapy is not a single appointment that removes the problem. The first 45 minutes is a conversation to understand what is going on. How long you continue depends on the concern, how often you meet, and what you want to change.
The first session and a short course
The first meeting is an assessment: what brought you here, how sleep and daily life are holding up, and what you hope will be different. Some people feel clearer after two or three sessions. Others book a short course of weekly or fortnightly meetings for a specific issue such as panic, a breakup, or work stress.
At Manovistaar each session is 45 minutes and ₹700. You book one slot at a time. There is no package you must buy in advance.
When work takes longer
Concerns that have lasted years, trauma-related distress, or repeating relationship patterns often need more than a handful of meetings. That is not a failure of therapy. It is the time it takes to notice patterns and practise new responses.
