ONEplus THERAPY

What is ONEplus Therapy?
 

ONEplus therapy occurs when you and I agree to meet for one session with the intention of me working with you so that you leave the session with the help you came for, which, when you implement it, will make a meaningful difference to your life. It is also important for you to realise that more help is available should you request it.

 

Is ONEplus Therapy for Me?
 

ONEplus therapy is for you if you are stuck with an emotional or behavioural problem and are looking for a way to get unstuck. If you seek ongoing therapy to address your problems, it is not for you. 

 

For Which Issues Can ONEplus Therapy be Helpful?
 

ONEplus therapy can help you address the same issues that can be addressed in other forms of therapy delivery. The difference is that in ONEplus therapy, we will work from moment one to help you to take away what you have come for on the issue you have chosen to discuss with me. Thus, in ONEplus therapy, I do not take a case history or carry out an extensive assessment of you and your problems.

​

What Does ONEplus Therapy Involve?
 

Once you decide to have ONEplus therapy, I will send you a contract to sign. On receipt, we will make an appointment. At the beginning of the session, I will check that you understand the purpose of the session, and if so, I will help you to clarify what you want to take away from the session. We will then agree on a focus for the session, which is usually the issue for which you seek help. It is my responsibility to help us both keep to this focus. I will then help you to discover a potential solution to the problem and encourage you to rehearse it in the session to see if it is right for you. If so, I will help you to develop a plan to implement the session and clarify with you what your takeaways are from the session.

​

Can I Prepare for ONEplus Therapy?
 

Once we have made an appointment, I will send you a pre-session form to complete and return. While this is optional, the form is designed to help you prepare for the session so that you get the most from it. Sharing your questionnaire with me before the session also helps me prepare for the session.

​​​

What Happens at the End of the Session? 
 

At the end of the session, I will encourage you to leave and do the following:

• Reflect on what you have learned from the session

• Digest this learning to see if you can generalise it to other areas of your life

• Put into practice what you learned

• Allow a little time to pass

• Decide if you need more help or if you got what you came for from the session. If you need more help, you may come back and choose to i) have another single session with me, ii) have an agreed block of sessions or iii) opt for ongoing therapy

​

Is There Anything Else I Need to Know?
 

• At the moment, I am offering ONEplus therapy online and in person.

• With your permission, I will record the session and send you an audio recording of the session free of charge.

• If you want a written transcript, I can provide one at what it costs me to have it transcribed professionally.
