Supervision for single session therapy (SST)

Description: 

In single session therapy (SST), therapists face diverse circumstances and navigate ethical dilemmas within a limited time frame. The brief nature of single session therapy calls for supervision in harmony with the shift in mindset and methodology that can assist with the unique aspects of the work. This training will provide a space for exploration and discussion of clinical supervision for SST. All those who provide supervision in psychotherapy, counselling and coaching in time-constrained contexts will find this training useful and engaging, including those supervising in crisis and call-in settings, walk-in clinics, medical centres, and live-in contexts where change conversations are brief. 

"SST places unique ethical demands on the clinician. Explore a supervision model built for that complexity — one that reconnects supervisees with their practice wisdom, creativity, and care." - Scot Cooper, RP

Learning objectives: 

• Situate the supervision within a meta-theory favourable to single session therapy
• Explore frameworks for post-session reflection, debrief and scheduled supervision
• Grow conversations that discover supervisee’s skills, creativity and know-how
• Discuss how to assist supervisees to be intentional in their learning 
• Identify an ethical stance for supervision that brings a focus on relational ethics

Join us to explore supervision in harmony with SST — where the unique complexity and ethical demands of single session practice are co-explored, and supervisees are supported to access their own wisdom, creativity, and ethics.
