Tips to Prepare for Your Session

Identify Your Main Focus

Identify Your Main Focus:

Since this is a one-time, focused session, it’s helpful to have a specific concern or goal in mind. Reflect on what you’d most like to address or resolve during the session—whether it’s making a decision, processing a particular event, or finding immediate strategies for a current challenge.

Set Clear Goals for the Session

Set Clear Goals for the Session:

Think about what you hope to walk away with. It could be gaining clarity, developing an action plan, or finding a new perspective. Being clear on your goals will help make the most of this focused time.

Prepare Any Relevant Information

Prepare Any Relevant Information:

If there’s background information that will help your psychologist understand the issue quickly (like recent events, feelings, or experiences), have it ready to share. This will allow more time to be spent on finding solutions.

Be Open to Practical Strategies

Be Open to Practical Strategies:

The aim of single session therapy is to provide actionable insights and tools that you can start using right away. Come ready to explore practical approaches and strategies that you can implement immediately after your session.

Reflect on What Support You Need Moving Forward

Reflect on What Support You Need Moving Forward:

Consider what kind of support or next steps you may need after the session. This will help guide the conversation if there’s time to explore follow-up strategies or resources to support you beyond this session.

It Doesn’t Have to End Here

It Doesn’t Have to End Here:

While single session therapy is designed for a one-time focus, it can also serve as a starting point for further self-reflection or ongoing support. If you find the session helpful and wish to explore more, we can discuss options for additional sessions or resources.
