SUMMARY:SINGLE SESSION THERAPY in PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:Embedding Single Session Thinking in Practice\nHow much can be achieved in one session? \nDive into the transformative practice of Single Session Therapy (SST) also known as Single Session Thinking\, an approach which makes the most of each encounter with clients by treating each contact\, but especially the first\, as though it may be the only contact. At the same time\, it lays the foundation for ongoing work\, if required and requested by the client. \nGrounded in evidence-based methods like Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)\, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy\, and Motivational Interviewing\, SST empowers participants to make meaningful progress in just one session by building on their strengths and turning goals into actionable steps. Drawing from Moshe Talmon’s foundational work  that nearly 60 % of clients reported meaningful improvement after just one session\, this workshop equips you to confidently deliver a powerful\, time-efficient therapeutic encounter. SST is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model\, but a flexible mindset that complements systemic\, trauma-informed\, and solution-focused approaches. It is recognised in clinical frameworks as a valid early intervention strategy. Its use is supported by the principles of stepped care\, and it is increasingly incorporated into digital\, school-based\, and brief intervention models. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDefinition and Key Principles of SST\nUnderstand the foundations and mindset of Single Session Thinking (SST)\nExplore SST’s application across various contexts\, innovative practices and opportunities to assist people imminently.\nIdentify tools and techniques that enhance relational\, trauma-informed practice in single contacts\nReflect on opportunities to embed SST principles into their own roles and services\n\nOutcomes \n\nEfficient access: Addresses long waitlists and staffing constraints by maximizing the impact of each session\nEffectiveness: Client focused\, goal orientated conversations\, clear client contracting\nAdaptable model: Useful in emergency/crisis settings\, walk‑in clinics\, public health\, and coaching. Flexible alignment with client needs\, cultural context\, and readiness\n\nWorkshop Schedule \n\nWhat is Single Session Thinking?\n\n\nDefinition and key principles of SST\nHistorical context\nCore values: every session counts\, collaboration\, client-led goals\nResearch overview\nApplication in CAMHS\, primary mental health\, OOHC and trauma-informed practice\nClinical guidelines: best practice in collaborative contracting\, reflection\, and stepped care alignment\n\n\nSST in CAMHS & Primary Mental Health\n\n\nCAMHS example: responding to waitlists\, demand\, and burnout (redesign model)\nTransformational impact of SST: improving access\, staff morale\, and client agency\nReal-life example/video vignettes\nSST in youth and school settings: engaging young people and families early\n\n\nTools & Techniques in SST\n\n\nGrounding questions and narrative/solution-focused techniques\nMapping what’s working and what the person wants more of\nSST with carers: validation\, regulation\, reframing\nSkills practice\n\n\nEmbedding SST in Your Role or Team\n\n\nTranslating learning into practice\nImplementation examples from suicide prevention\, school/community teams\, and complex care\nBarriers and enablers\nPlan – ‘What could a micro-pilot look like in your setting?’\n\n\nReflections & Next Steps\n\nJoin us for a day of experiential learning and skill-building\, designed to empower helping professionals to deliver fast\, focused change\, even when time is limited. \nPresented by: Katy Stephenson is a dynamic\, passionate\, and committed Systemic Psychotherapist or otherwise known in Australia as Clinical Family Therapist with over 24 years of experience\, predominantly working with children\, young people\, their significant others and the systems that surround them.
