It took me a long while to understand the programme as it were, but the companionship is instant. Currently, the meetings I go to are super busy. Each session is like individual therapy. I've shared things and seen people nodding back. Things I didn't think anyone else would understand, let alone feel. I've had counselling before, and I think a month is too long. Each session raises new questions and you need to think and process then, then discuss them next week.
I second the weekly counseling. Even 1hr per week is barely enough for me...but it has really helped me out this time around.
