As a parent or carer, it can be incredibly overwhelming to see a child or loved one struggling with an Eating Disorder. While ongoing therapy is often recommended, sometimes a single session intervention with a psychologist can provide the support and guidance needed to make a real difference, even in a short time.
What is Single Session Intervention?
A Single Session Intervention (SSI) is a targeted 90-minute session with a psychologist, designed to address immediate concerns and equip parents and carers with strategies they can implement right away. This intervention is particularly helpful for those who are seeking guidance on how to support a child or loved one experiencing Eating Disorder-related challenges.
Customised Support for Parents and Carers
During this session, the psychologist works directly with parents and carers to understand the specific needs of their loved one. The intervention is not just about addressing the Eating Disorder but also providing practical, tailored advice for managing the behaviours and emotional challenges associated with it. Whether it’s helping to develop better communication strategies or offering ways to support a loved one during meal times, this session is highly customised to your situation.
How It Can Help
- Immediate Guidance: Unlike traditional therapy, which can take time to progress, a Single Session Intervention focuses on delivering immediate, actionable advice.
- Parental Empowerment: Parents and carers leave the session with a clearer understanding of how to best support their loved one. It’s about providing the tools and confidence to handle difficult situations.
- Practical Solutions: The psychologist will help you develop tailored strategies to cope with the day-to-day challenges of caring for someone with an Eating Disorder.
