Single Session Therapy

Whether by chance or by intention, the increased demand for cost efficient, responsive, and effective counselling services has led to an exploration of alternative service delivery models to meet the needs of service users. Single Session Therapy (SST) represents a clinically effective option that is flexible, responsive and easily accessed.

This workshop offers participants an engaging, positive and impactful introduction to SST. Using the principals and techniques of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, participants gain knowledge and practice in the art of asking powerful questions to service users struggling with a range of mental health challenges.

Doing the Best You Can with What You Have: How to cultivate hope in any conversation

Front-line practitioners all want the best for their clients, but it can be challenging to feel helpful when faced with limited time, resources, or less-than-ideal situations.

This workshop explores what it takes to be clinically effective regardless of the time available, setting, or presenting problem. Drawing on the research surrounding Hope Theory (Snyder, 1994), practitioners are invited to consider hope as an “active ingredient” in helpful conversations and to discuss how to cultivate hope more intentionally in their work and themselves.
