When clients feel stuck, how can we help them make meaningful progress in just one session? In this engaging and practical workshop, Windy Dryden, a leading expert in Single-Session Therapy (SST), will explore how therapists can use SST to create immediate impact and lasting change.
Through real-world examples and interactive discussion, Windy will demonstrate how SST helps clients identify key issues, set clear goals, and take actionable steps—often in just one session. Whether you’re new to SST or looking to refine your approach, this workshop will provide valuable insights and techniques to integrate into your practice
Workshop Structure
Discussion and Exploration
The workshop will begin with an engaging discussion between Windy Dryden and John Wilson, focusing on the unique aspects of therapy for therapists and the potential benefits of Single-Session Therapy (SST). Colleagues attending the workshop will also be invited to join this discussion, providing a collaborative and enriching experience.
Demonstration of Single-Session Therapy
In the second part of the workshop, Windy Dryden will invite two volunteers to participate in a live SST demonstration. This session aims to illustrate how SST can effectively address the personal struggles of therapists.
Volunteer Participation
Volunteers should bring a current issue they would like help with and be prepared to discuss it in front of their peers. The demonstrations will be recorded and included as part of the workshop content, accessible only in the Onlinevents library with a password.

Course Content
Presenter
CBT Therapist, Trainer, Academic and Writer
I am Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths University of London and have been working in the field of counselling and psychotherapy since 1975.
I was one of the first people in Britain to be trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and have trained with Drs. Albert Ellis, Aaron T. Beck and Arnold Lazarus.
I have also trained at the University of Warwick where I was awarded an MSc in Psychotherapy. This was an eclectic course and gave me a very broad view of the field. What has been important and sustaining in my career has been variety. Thus, I work as a practitioner, trainer, academic and writer/editor.
CBT Practice
I have worked as a therapist in many settings: including in private practice, in a GP practice, in a clinical psychology service and in private psychiatric hospitals.
CBT Training
I have been active in training counsellors and therapists since 1975 and have trained therapists in many countries including Britain, USA, South Africa, Turkey and Israel.
Academic
I began my career as an academic as Lecturer in Counselling at the University of Aston in Birmingham (1975-1984) and joined Goldsmiths University of London in 1985 where I became Britian’s first Professor of Counselling in 1992. I am now Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths and have held Visiting Professorships at University of Birmingham, University of East London, University of Westminster and London Metropolitan University. In 2005, I was awarded a DSc in Psychology at Babes-Bolyai University in Romania.
Writer and Editor
My first book was published in 1984 and I have now authored or edited over 230 books. I write for both the profession and for the general public. In addition, I have edited 20 book series and was, until 2012, the editor of the ‘Journal of Rational-Emotive and Cognitive-Behavior Therapy’.
