The best therapeutic outcomes depend primarily on clients’ motivation, readiness, commitment, trust and willingness to change for the better. Unless the client is ready, proper therapy cannot begin.

After termination of the therapy, follow up will be taking place regularly. In the follow up sessions, how the client is handling the issue and how well the client is implementing the therapy strategies will be evaluated. After a certain period of time, a booster session will be planned by a psychologist to re-train the client and add any new techniques if needed.
