Single-Session Therapy: Delivering Maximum Benefit.
A 2-day, specially recorded course.
Single-Session Therapy is often assumed to be second-best to longer-term therapy, but research and practice show that a well-structured single session can make a real and lasting difference, and has its own specific advantages over alternatives.
This course shows clinicians how to use a single meeting to maximum effect — setting a clear focus, using evidence-based techniques, and helping patients move forward straight away. It’s a highly practical, skills-based course that restores clinicians’ sense of effectiveness and helps services reach more people, more quickly.
Graded Exposure Therapy.
A 1-day course.
This is a 1-day input designed for mental health professionals.
The course covers how to apply exposure therapy – especially graded exposure – and what conditions it works well for. It also covers the pitfalls to avoid, and the conditions it usually doesn’t work well for. Those who attend the course receive a certificate to verify the fact, and accreditation that allows them access to any resources associated with the course.
