In addition to regular counselling, which usually takes place during a series of meetings, I also offer a unique approach known as Single Session Therapy (SST). Research suggests that 70-80% of clients find their initial session helpful. SST can be considered a form of self-care, providing clients with quick and effective solutions to their immediate concerns. While some professionals may hold reservations about this model, it’s often highly valued by clients seeking efficient support.
Working within the SST framework requires a specific mindset. It’s crucial not to approach it with the same expectations as conventional therapy with multiple sessions. Instead, I treat each SST session as if it could be the last, focusing on delivering meaningful assistance efficiently.
One essential requirement in SST is getting to the core issues promptly. In SST, relational depth isn’t always the primary focus, but relational promptness is crucial.
Best practices in SST start with preparations of your one-time therapy session with a detailed intake form. This features pre-session questions which encourage you to reflect on what specific help you hope to receive, whether it’s resolving emotional or behavioral issues, gaining clarity, making decisions, or simply discussing your concerns.
My approach to SST offers efficient and client-centered support, aiming to provide you with quick and meaningful assistance for your current concerns. It may be the only session you need, but please understand that this does not limit the possibility of further sessions if necessary; it can also serve as an initial step into more extended therapeutic work if you would find this beneficial.
