Supervision for single session therapy: Practical clinical supervision for reflective, ethical, and responsive practice in time-constrained contexts

Unfinished puzzle of human head with pieces being added representing single session therapy supervision

Explore clinical supervision for single session therapy (SST) and develop practical, ethical, and reflective approaches for time-constrained supervision contexts.

This training explores how supervision can support single session therapy (SST) across brief and time-constrained practice settings. It considers the mindset, methodology, and ethical complexity involved in this work.

In single session therapy, therapists face diverse circumstances and navigate ethical dilemmas within a limited time frame. The brief nature of SST calls for supervision in harmony with this shift in mindset and methodology. This approach can assist with the unique aspects of the work.

All those who provide supervision in psychotherapy, counselling, and coaching in time-constrained contexts will find this training useful and engaging. More specifically, this training will also benefit those involved in supervision in crisis and call-in settings, walk-in clinics, medical centres, and live-in contexts. In these settings, change conversations are often 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 Copper, RP

Learning objectives:

  • Situating the supervision within a meta-theory favourable to single session therapy
  • A framework for session debriefs and scheduled supervision
  • Conversations that discover supervisee’s skills, creativity and know-how
  • Growing supervision inclusive of a range of psychotherapy modalities
  • 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. Reserve your spot today.
