A two-day live online workshop with Professor Windy Dryden — Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London, and a leading figure in Single-Session Therapy (SST). Join live to ask Windy questions and hear him respond in the moment. The workshop brings together colleagues joining from mainland China via OI and colleagues joining via Onlinevents, including Chinese-speaking practitioners outside mainland China and English-speaking practitioners, all following the same live presentations and demonstrations together, with consecutive interpretation throughout. One ticket covers both days.

**Recorded Demonstrations**

Each day includes a pre-recorded SST demonstration session with a volunteer client based in China. The session was conducted in English, with Chinese captions added for participants joining from China. Watching and discussing these demonstrations together, across both audiences, is especially useful for Chinese-speaking colleagues outside mainland China, and for practitioners working with clients who speak Chinese.

**Day 1 — Saturday 17 October 2026, 8:00–11:00am UK (3:00–6:00pm Beijing): Working with Anxiety**

Windy introduces the mindset, evidence base, and six-step structure of SST, before turning to anxiety specifically — exploring his two-component model of appraisal of threat and perceived ability to cope, the distinction between ego-based and non-ego-based threat, and the phenomenon of anxiety about anxiety. The day includes the recorded demonstration and closes with Q&A.

**Day 2 — Sunday 18 October 2026, 8:00–11:00am UK (3:00–6:00pm Beijing): Working with Depression**

Windy turns to depression through the SST lens — including autonomy-based, sociotropic, and pity-based depression — before addressing therapists' own doubts and reservations about SST, and how these can best be worked with. The day includes the recorded demonstration and closes with Q&A.

**Bilingual, in Real Time**

The workshop runs with consecutive interpretation between English and Chinese throughout — presentations, demonstrations, and Q&A on both days. Content is delivered in both languages, so the day unfolds at a considered pace, with room for both audiences to properly engage.

This workshop will be relevant to counsellors, psychotherapists, supervisors, and trainees interested in Single-Session Therapy, and to anyone working with clients who speak Chinese.

Your ticket covers both days live. The recording of both sessions will be added to the Onlinevents Learning Library after the event.
