So you only have eight sessions: What do you do? Integrating evidence-informed practices into time-limited psychotherapy

Maximize clinical impact in limited time—gain practical, evidence-informed tools to deliver effective, focused care within session-constrained settings.

In this two-day webinar, professionals working in community agencies, family health teams, or community health centres will learn practical strategies for delivering effective care within the realities of time-limited psychotherapy. You’ll gain structured approaches for planning and delivering therapy across beginning, middle, and end-phase sessions. While maximizing each encounter using evidence-informed practices.

This training emphasizes how to prioritize treatment goals, build strong therapeutic alliances quickly, and apply interventions that align with short-term models of care. You’ll explore a trauma-informed treatment model and learn to integrate targeted interventions from both cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) to support clients experiencing common mental health concerns.

Through video demonstrations, small group discussions, role-play, and experiential learning, you’ll walk away with tools you can immediately apply in brief therapy settings. Whether you’re new to short-term models or looking to sharpen your skills, this workshop will help you bring greater focus and impact to your work in time-limited psychotherapy.
