Single Session Therapy (SST)

Single Session Therapy (SST) is a form of psychotherapy that is designed to help clients address specific problems or concerns in a single session. This approach was developed as a response to the increasing demand for brief, cost-effective therapy that can be completed in a single session.

SST is based on the belief that some clients can achieve significant improvements in their emotional well-being and functioning in a single session, rather than requiring long-term therapy. This approach can be helpful for individuals who are seeking immediate relief from distressing symptoms, or who want to gain new insights and strategies to address a specific problem or issue.

During an SST session, the therapist focuses on building a strong therapeutic alliance with the client and helps them to identify their goals and expectations for the session. The therapist then works with the client to identify the specific problem or concern that they want to address and helps them to develop a plan of action to achieve their goals.

SST can be used to treat a variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. The focus is on providing clients with practical and actionable strategies that they can use to improve their functioning and well-being.

Overall, SST is a brief and effective approach to therapy that can provide clients with immediate relief and support. It can be a valuable option for individuals who are seeking focused, goal-oriented therapy that can be completed in a single session.
