About Single - Session Therapy
Single-Session Therapy
Professor Windy Dryden
Therapist, Trainer & Supervisor, Academic & 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 and supervisor, academic and writer/editor.
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.
I offer ongoing therapy, single-session therapy, coaching and couples therapy.
Training & Supervision
I have been active in training and supervising counsellors and therapists since 1975 and have trained therapists in many countries including Britain, USA, South Africa, Turkey and Israel.
I am available to train practitioners in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and Single-Session Therapy (SST)
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 Britain'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.
My first book was published in 1984 and I have now authored or edited over 240 books. I write for both the profession and for the general public. In addition, I have edited 21 book series.
