Psychotherapist & Counsellor. Harrogate
Single Session Therapy (SST)
What is SST?
We will work together, focusing on a single issue with the intention of me helping you walk away from the session with the help you are looking for, which when you implement it will make a meaningful difference to your life. The session lasts up to 60 minutes.
Is SST for me?
Sometimes all we need is one conversation to get things moving in the right direction. SST is perfect if you have a specific issue you'd like to focus on or if you're facing a tough decision, feeling stuck or looking for some clarity or guidance. This focused session will help you explore solutions and take actionable steps forward.
No long term commitment is required, just timely and effective support when you need it most.
What can SST help me with?
People seek help with a wide range of difficulties. To name a few include stress, anxiety, conflict, relationship issues, procrastination, bereavement/loss, uncertainty or just feeling stuck.
Can I prepare for SST?
Some clients find it helpful to complete my pre-Session questionnaire. While optional, the questionnaire is designed to help you focus your thoughts and get the most out of the session. Sharing it with me beforehand also allows me to prepare for our time together.
What does SST involve?
Once you decide to proceed with SST, here’s what happens next:
-
I’ll send you a contract and an invoice. After you return the signed contract and payment is received, we’ll schedule your appointment. This can be in-person or online via Zoom (no Zoom account is needed; I’ll provide a link in the confirmation email).
-
During the session:
-
We’ll start by ensuring you understand the purpose of the session and clarify what you’d like to achieve.
-
We’ll agree on a focus for the session—usually the issue for which you are seeking help.
-
Together, we’ll explore a potential solution to your issue, and you’ll have the opportunity to rehearse it to determine if it feels right for you.
-
If it does, I’ll help you develop a clear plan for implementation and ensure you leave with actionable takeaways.
-
What happens at the end & after our session?
At the conclusion of the session, we’ll discuss your next steps, which may include:
-
Feeling that you’ve achieved what you came for and needing no further help.
-
Taking time to implement what you’ve learned and deciding later if further support is needed.
-
Opting for additional support, which could involve another SST session, time-limited therapy, or ongoing therapy.
