Single Session Therapy
What's Next Counselling offers Single Session Therapy which is a less traditional therapeutic approach where the client engages in a single session of therapy in order to work through something happening in the present moment.
These sessions can range from 60 minutes to 2 hours depending on what you need.
Single Session Therapy: What do you need to know?
WHAT IS SINGLE SESSION THERAPY GOOD FOR?
Single session therapy can help with a number of issues that you are dealing with in your day-to-day life such as decision making, relationship or life decisions, stress or work related stress or family problems. It can be a space for you to have a difficult conversation with someone who doesn't know you or will judge you.
WHAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SINGLE SESSION THERAPY FOR?
Single Session Therapy is not designed to help you with any long standing traumatic issues, long-term depression or illness or bereavement. These issues usually take time to deal with and cannot be dealt with in the course of an individual session.
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS AND WHAT DO THEY COST?
Single Session Therapy sessions can last either 60, 90 or 120 minutes depending on availability and how long you feel like you may need to work through the session at hand. These sessions cost £70, £97.50 or £125 respectively. Please note that these sessions cost more than a standard session of therapy due to the preparation involved.
I WANT A SINGLE SESSION OF THERAPY, WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?
When you contact What's Next Counselling to arrange a single session of therapy, I will in return email you a copy of the single session therapy contract for electronic signature and a pre-session questionnaire. The contract provides you with details of the service, gives you the opportunity to decide how long you would like your session to be. The pre-session questionnaire provides me with an opportunity to ensure that single session therapy is suitable for you and gives me some background information so that our session can be focused on the issue you are wanting to deal with. Once the contract and questionnaire have been returned and payment has been made for the session, we will agree a time and date for your session and if needed, a meeting link will be provided. Please be advised that should you choose a 120 minute session but opt not to use the full time, no refunds will be given.
WHAT IF I NEED MORE SUPPORT?
Following your single session of therapy, you are more than welcome to consider a 30 minute follow up call at the cost of £35 or alternatively you can consider starting regular therapy. There is also the option for you to consider another single session of therapy at a future date should you feel that this is appropriate.
