Professor Windy Dryden
In person Workshop

Oakwood Centre in Woodley (RG5 4JZ)


We are delighted to announce that Professor Dryden will be giving RTG's Autumn Workshop. As indicated above it is being held in person in the Oakwood Centre

Synopsis: Discover the potential and principles of Single-Session Therapy (SST) in a three-hour workshop,"Single-Session (ONEplus) Therapy: An Introduction with Windy Dryden."; This workshop will challenge the conventional expectations of longer-term therapy and address common misconceptions about SST, such as being perceived as "money-driven", "superficial"; and of "poor quality". Windy Dryden, an experienced therapist, will guide participants through the foundational aspects of SST, demonstrating its effectiveness and adaptability across various therapeutic orientations. This workshop will emphasise SST as a mindset and a method of service delivery, focusing on providing immediate assistance to clients based on their needs rather than service availability constraints. Topics covered will include:

  • The nature and fundamental assumptions of SST
  • Key components of the SST mindset
  • Implementation of SST as a mode of service delivery
  • Setting goals and preparing for SST sessions
  • Ensuring good practice, follow-up, and effective evaluation
  • Addressing common concerns and objections to SST

Additionally, the workshop will feature a live demonstration with a volunteer from the audience, offering a practical look at how SST can address real-life issues within a single session.

Biography; Professor Windy Dryden is Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London. His goal is to disseminate SST/ONEplus Therapy. His latest book is Dryden, W. (2023). Oneplus Therapy: Help at the Point of Need. Sheffield: Onlinevents Publications.
