In Single-Session Counselling, we focus on getting down to work straight away. We are looking at a single issue; therefore, no detailed personal background history is needed, just a history of the problem.

With single-session counselling, the core concept is straightforward: you prepare for the session, we show up, we talk, we listen, we learn, and you leave, possibly never to return but always knowing that more support is available.

• That change can happen in a single session – if we don’t believe this, then a single session is unlikely to help.
• That you already have skills and experiences that can be drawn upon to help you resolve whatever issues you are now facing.
• Complex problems do not always need complex solutions.

It is important to realise that single-session counselling is not there to help you overcome emotional and behavioural problems; if that is the help you need, I would strongly recommend that ongoing therapy, short- or long-term, would be your best option.

Single-session counselling is there to help you get unstuck and back in the game again with something practical to help improve your situation. Single-session counselling will not provide a dramatic cure for everything – nor will long-term therapy, for that matter.
