Launching a new service – One Session Therapy

What is One Session therapy?

One session therapy is a new service that gives clients the opportunity to spend one hour with a counsellor to work - in a very focused way - on one area of their relationship. It is open to individuals attending on their own or two people with a shared goal.

This approach needs to be focused on:

• one change that you really want to achieve
• being able to imagine what difference that change could make to you or your relationship
• the one change being realistically achievable (including identifying obstacles that might get in the way) 
• identifying the one or more steps that need to be taken
• identifying your level of commitment

Here are some examples of what might be achieved in one session -

• learning about empathy – what it means, how it can be shown, and what difference it could make to being able to communicate more effectively, 
• learning how to listen to each other more attentively, 
• experiencing the giving and receiving of appreciation and the difference it could make to the relationship, 
• reaching an agreement about something that matters to the parties concerned, e.g., to spend quality time together on a regular basis, and perhaps negotiating regular evenings out together.

When One Session Therapy would not be appropriate where -

• there are issues of abuse present in the relationship
• more than one person has been booked to attend, but one or other party has come to the session against their will
• you have a young child/baby for whom there is no childcare organised for the duration of the counselling session.

The fee for a 60 minute One Session Therapy is £90. Please contact us on 0300 003 2324 (option 1) to find out more or to book your One Session Therapy.
