We believe in making mental health support scalable to meet rising demand for support - and easy to access, so that we can help as many people in-the-moment as possible. As part of this continuing drive, we offer drop-in single therapy sessions.
In fact today, 78% of all one-to-one sessions at Kooth are single 'one at a time' sessions. Latest outcome measures show this approach is hugely effective, with around 70% of service users achieving their wants and needs.
Responding to service user needs is central to our approach to mental health.
Kooth's chief clinical offer, Dr Lynne Green, describes how we developed a "single session" service to meet changing needs - and the validated measure we developed to assess single session outcomes.
Dr Louisa Salhi, head of research at Kooth, explains how we collaborated with partners like the Child Outcomes Research Consortium (CORC) to develop SWAN-OM, the first ever outcome measure for digital single session therapy.
We're continuing to build an evidence based for digitally-delivered single session support through SWAN-OM, our validated outcome measure. Read a selection of our research papers for our latest findings.
Eminent clinical psychologists, Professor Jessica Schleider and Dr Maria Loades discuss single sessions in terms of their flexibility, scalability and popularity - and their critical role in helping meet the needs of young people today.
This is a real-life case study about Justin*, a Kooth service user, showing how easily-accessed single sessions can make a momentous difference in someone’s life.
Through single drop-in therapy sessions, Justin gradually opened up about what he was struggling with and took meaningful steps towards self-acceptance and confidence.
