SereneBlue ONE+
Single Session Therapy
SereneBlue ONE+ is a form of single session therapy designed to help you make meaningful progress in a single, focused appointment.
It can help when you’re facing a difficult emotional situation, feeling overwhelmed, or feeling stuck in patterns of thought or behaviour. Further sessions are always available if you need them, but they aren’t expected.
Your first 10 minute consultation is completely free.

When single session therapy can help
Coping with a recent stressful or upsetting event.
Making a difficult decision or finding focus when you feel stuck.
Managing nerves before an important event, like a flight, exam, or interview.
Learning practical strategies to manage panic attacks or anxiety symptoms.
Significant life change, such as retirement, becoming a parent or changing careers.
Building confidence for a challenging conversation or situation.
Working through a specific fear or phobia.
Developing practical ways to cope with stress or feeling overwhelmed.
What is SereneBlue ONE+?
SereneBlue ONE+ is a form of single session therapy aimed at helping you make immediate, meaningful progress at the point you need it.
It doesn’t mean the therapy you receive is any different or less effective. The difference is in how it’s approached – the focus is on helping you make the best possible progress in a single session, rather that assuming there will be another.
SereneBlue ONE+ is inspired by the ONEplus Therapy approach developed by Professor Windy Dryden. He is one of the UK’s leading practitioners, authors and trainers in Single Session Therapy.

how SereneBlue ONE+ Therapy works
Preparation is all-important to help you make the most of ONE+ therapy. This includes a quick phone call and questionnaire to help you make the most of your therapy, and to make sure it’s right for you.
Preparation
I’ll give you a 10-minute phone call to discuss your situation and check that ONE+ therapy is the right fit.
I’ll follow up with a short questionnaire to help clarify what you’d like to achieve and the issue you want to focus on.
Your therapy session
Your session typically lasts up to 90 minutes. This incudes a focused hypnotherapy session and a copy of the recording, which will be sent to you.
We’ll explore the issue, build on your existing strengths and use therapeutic approaches so you can leave with meaningful progress.
Follow up
Around three months later, I’ll arrange a brief follow-up call to see how you’re getting on, discuss what’s changed since our session, and answer any questions you may have.

FAQs
Is ONE+ Therapy right for me?
ONE+ Therapy is ideal if you’re looking for focused help with a specific problem or situation. It suits many people who want practical help or a fresh perspective when they feel stuck.
If you’re looking for longer-term therapy for more complex or multiple issues, I can discuss whether another approach would be more appropriate.
What issues can ONE+ Therapy help with?
ONE+ Therapy can help with a lot of the same issues addressed in traditional counselling, like anxiety, stress, low confidence, relationship difficulties, grief, workplace challenges and major life changes.
It’s particularly helpful when there’s a specific situation, decision or challenge you’d like help with, rather than wanting to explore broader patterns over a longer period. The focus is on helping you make meaningful progress on what’s most important to you at the time.
What happens during a ONE+ Therapy session?
Together we’ll identify the outcome you’d like from the session before agreeing on a clear focus. I’ll help you explore the issue, develop practical ways forward and leave with a strategy you can begin using immediately.
The session is collaborative and tailored to your individual needs.
Can I prepare before my appointment?
Many people find it helpful to spend a little time beforehand thinking about what they’d most like to achieve from the session.
You don’t need to prepare extensively, but having a clear idea of the issue you’d like to work on and what a successful outcome would look like can help you get the most from your appointment.
What happens after the session?
After your appointment, you’ll have time to reflect on what you’ve learned and begin putting your plan into practice.
Many people find that one session gives them exactly what they need. If you’d like additional support, you’re welcome to book
Does ONE+ Therapy mean I can only have one session?
Not at all. The intention is simply to make each session as helpful and complete as possible, rather than assuming you’ll need multiple appointments.
Many people only need one session, while others choose to return later if a new challenge arises or they would benefit from further support.
Is ONE+ Therapy the same as traditional counselling?
ONE+ Therapy uses many of the same therapeutic skills and approaches as traditional counselling, but the emphasis is different.
Instead of beginning with the expectation of regular sessions, the focus is on helping you make meaningful progress within a single appointment while keeping the option of future sessions open if needed.
How long is a ONE+ Therapy session?
Your ONE+ Therapy session lasts approximately 90 minutes, giving enough time to explore your chosen issue in depth while remaining focused on achieving practical, meaningful outcomes.
Can I book another session later?
Absolutely. Although many people find one session is enough, there’s no limit on returning if you’d like more support in the future.
Each session is treated as a standalone appointment, focused on what would be most helpful to you at that time.
