Single Session Therapy

Could Single Session therapy be of help?

Picture
Crisis Intervention and Single Session Therapy is available for people who would appreciate and like the time, space and opportunity to discuss in private a particular concern, life experience or issue that has arisen in their daily lives. Annual celebrations, anniversaries and other meaningful times of the year, may also be an occasion when some people would want time to express their thoughts and feelings to someone 'outside' of their life.

Individuals gain the chance to ‘off load’ and express themselves on their issues at hand.  Sessions also aim to assist the person in reducing their distress by:

- acknowledging their perspective and experience,
- gaining new insights, 
- consider different view points, 
- reach conclusions,
- make decisions and
- problem solve their difficulties. 

Single Session Therapy often improves understanding and tends to increase the individual's confidence in their chosen course(s) of action.  

Single Session Therapy is also a useful way to ‘try’ therapy, to experience the process of therapy, and learn how talking therapies help by addressing painful or troubling thoughts, feelings and behaviours bought on by personal circumstances, psychological issues and/or life events.  

When booking an appointment, be sure to state that it is for a single session.  Dr. Thompson will then know to contact you promptly in order to arrange a priority appointment for 90 minute duration. 

See the Fees page for current costs.
