One Session Therapy

What is One Session Therapy?

One Session Therapy is a focused, solution-orientated counselling approach that provides meaningful therapeutic support in just one session.

Rather than committing to weeks or months of ongoing therapy appointments, you can access professional help when you need it – whether you’re facing a specific challenge, need clarity on a situation, or want practical strategies you can use right away.

Perfect for individuals or couples who want to address a specific issue together.

How does One Session Therapy work?

Your One Session Therapy appointment is a complete therapeutic experience:

• Approach: Goal-orientated and solution-focussed
• Format: Individual sessions or couples sessions available, online and in-person
• Outcome: Practical strategies and insights you can implement immediately
• Follow-up: Option to book additional sessions if needed – but no pressure or obligation

Who is One Session Therapy for?

One Session Therapy can help if you’re:

✓ Dealing with a specific issue or decision you need support with
✓ Feeling stuck and want fresh perspective from a professional
✓ Experiencing increased stress, anxiety, or overwhelm
✓ Navigating a life transition or relationship challenge
✓ A couple wanting to address a specific issue together
✓ Looking for coping strategies for a particular situation
✓ Wanting to try therapy but uncertain about long-term commitment

Frequently asked questions

Is one session really enough?

For many people, yes. One Session Therapy is designed to be complete in itself. You’ll leave with practical strategies and fresh perspectives. However, you can always book additional sessions if you feel they’d be helpful.

How is this different from a regular first therapy session?

Traditional therapy first sessions often focus on assessment and building rapport, with active work happening in later sessions. One Session Therapy is structured to provide meaningful therapeutic support and practical outcomes in that first appointment itself.

What if I decide I want ongoing therapy afterwards?

That’s absolutely fine. If you found your single session helpful and want to continue working with that therapist, you can book additional appointments at your own pace.

How much does it cost?

Our therapists set their own rates, typically starting from £90 per session. You’ll see the exact cost when selecting your therapist.

Is this available online?

Yes, most of our therapists offer both online and in-person sessions. You can filter by your preference when booking.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Most people can book within a week. Some therapists have availability within just a few days.

What if I’m not sure this is right for me?

Book a free 15-minute consultation call with one of our therapists. They can answer your questions and help you decide if one session therapy would work for your situation.

How do you protect my privacy and safety?

All sessions are completely confidential. All therapists are DBS checked, insured, and professionally registered, and professional therapeutic boundaries are always maintained.
