Single Session Therapy
Single Session Therapy (also known as SST) is where a therapist and client work together to help the client in one session, knowing that more help is available if needed.
It usually involves a specific issue/dilemma/question that the client would like to focus on.
So, I'm going to break down this definition further:
“where a therapist and client …”
It involves two people. You and me.
“work together …”
It’s a joint endeavour. The work may feel like counselling, therapy, guidance, coaching, or mentoring. That will depend on what’s currently troubling you. We work together to help you.
“to help the client …”
We look at resources available to you which may not seem obvious or which are just waiting to be
tapped into – things within you and around you. We look at ways to help you take a first step away from whatever’s been holding you back.
“in one session …”
It is one in person, online or phone session of either 60 or 90 minutes. And we can, if you like have a ten
minute follow-up phone call a few weeks later.
“knowing that more help is available if needed”
Often a client will find that one session is sufficient to begin to tackle a problem. Momentum is gained.
The cogs get oiled. Where you would like to talk further we can discuss the options of a further single
session after some time has passed, or arrange weekly sessions when a space becomes available.
Online, in person or phone?
The option is yours. If we hold the session online, I will set up a meeting on zoom. If we speak on the phone, I will call you (calling on whatsapp works best for me if that's ok!).
What’s the process?
1. We find a date and time to meet up.
2. You fill in and send back the Single Session Therapy form
3. I read and reflect on the form
4. You pay for the session
5. We meet up and have our session!
At the session we discuss what’s troubling you and think through ways of moving on. Before the
session ends we can book a time for a follow up phone call if that's needed. I will confirm this by email after the session.
