Right amount just when you need it.

​

Therapy can be more accessible than having weekly meetings for a long time, like several months or over a year.  You will attend therapy sessions whenever you need to consult with someone about what is going on at hand. 

​

​

            No pressure to keep meeting.

​

A client and therapist will have an understanding that the meeting will end sometimes. Creating changes in your life for the better may well be a lifetime commitment. But therapy does not have to be. The client can end the therapy meetings by saying that “It was enough meetings. I am good for now”.

​

​

            Having more hope.

​

Knowing the therapy can end can boost the feeling of hope. This will help clients to look for hopeful signs that they can achieve these goals and signs that something already started happening. 

​

​

            Purposeful and motivating meeting.

​

 You will be in the driver's seat in deciding when you have the next meeting and how long you are in therapy. It emphasizes the belief that you know yourself the best and you are your best advocate. It can be easier to fit into your schedule because of the flexibility.

​

​

            Economical.

​

A client may feel like their money is well spent because every meeting has mutually agreed, clearly defined attainable goals. Instead of “meeting just because we have ongoing weekly appointments and don’t know what to talk about”, episodic therapy may help the meeting be purposeful and engaging.
