It will be very difficult to answer that way in a very sort of black-and-white way. But… And it completely depends on the individual and the difficulties they are presenting. So it could be that one child needs sort of a handful of sessions, another one might need something much longer, so perhaps sort of you know 12, 16, 18 sessions. It really depends.
