What if my challenge takes longer than one session?
SSC is designed to be high-impact and focused, but not every issue can be resolved in a single session. If a challenge is too broad, or requires ongoing work, we will identify this in the intake call and advise on alternative approaches. However, even for complex issues, one session can provide significant clarity, direction, and momentum.
What if it doesn’t work?
The goal of SSC is to create movement and unlock solutions. While we cannot guarantee a perfect outcome, clients typically leave with greater clarity, a fresh perspective, and concrete next steps. If the client feels no progress has been made at the end of the session, we will explore why and whether an alternative approach is needed. No cur not pay sounds horrible but in essence its what we aim for.
How is this different from traditional coaching?
SSC is task-oriented, systemic, and designed for immediate impact. Unlike traditional coaching, which often involves ongoing sessions and long-term development, SSC helps professionals address a specific challenge in one structured conversation. It is not about incremental change over months but about making a critical shift now.
Can I book more than one session?
Yes, but SSC is not designed as an ongoing coaching programme. Some clients may return for another session to work on a different challenge, but continued sessions are not expected. Each session is treated as a standalone intervention.
What if my challenge doesn’t fit SSC?
Not every problem is right for SSC. The intake call ensures that SSC is the right approach. If the issue requires ongoing coaching, therapy, or a different form of support, we will let you know before we start.
What is the SSC Enterprise Solution?
Imagine if you could halve your coaching budget and double the impact. The SSC Enterprise Solution is a high-impact, scalable coaching model designed for organisations that want to provide leaders with immediate clarity, decision-making support, and problem-solving—without the cost and complexity of long-term coaching programs.
Instead of ongoing coaching engagements, SSC delivers powerful, one-off coaching sessions that help leaders and teams tackle challenges in real-time. It works particularly well for: Leadership development & executive coaching, Strategic decision-making & complex problem-solving, Culture shifts & organisational transformation, Support for high-performing teams & key talent.
Our Enterprise model is designed for organisations with 50+ employees who want to integrate SSC into their leadership development and coaching offerings.
If you’re a smaller company but think SSC could be a fit, let’s talk.
Who is SSC for?
SSC is ideal for leaders, executives, and professionals who need to make a decision quickly; feel stuck and want a fresh perspective; want a direct, results-oriented coaching session; have the skills and knowledge but need clarity on next steps.
Does Single Session Coaching work for teams?
SSC is best suited for one-on-one coaching, particularly for leaders and decision-makers who need clarity and direction. While team dynamics and systemic issues may be factors, SSC can have a direct impact if the leader is the key decision-maker. If the challenge is more team-related, we’ll assess this during the intake call and determine whether SSC is the right fit or if a different approach—such as systemic team coaching—would be more effective.
Is there a follow-up process?
An optional 30-minute follow-up call is available two weeks later to check in on progress, troubleshoot challenges, and reinforce momentum. There is no charge for this call :) It's all part of the service.
how do i book a coaching session?
Simple! Click here to start. First, we’ll have a quick call to see if SSC is the right fit for your challenge. If it is, the next step is a 45-minute deep dive to explore what’s influencing your challenge and your ability to execute on it.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our coaches are top-tier, ICF-accredited professionals with deep expertise in Executive and Leadership Coaching. Beyond traditional coaching credentials, all have trained extensively in Family and Organisational Constellations—known in German as “Familienaufstellung” (Family Constellation) and “Organisationsaufstellung” (Organisational Constellation)—as developed by Bert Hellinger.
In addition, our coaches bring expertise in a range of leadership and personal development frameworks, including: The Leadership Circle, Enneagram, Systemic Coaching & Thinking, Somatic & Embodied Coaching, Adult Development & Vertical Leadership Growth
Each coach has at least ten years of experience working with leaders and professionals, ensuring a high level of insight and practical impact.
Is this the same as Single Session Therapy?
1No, Single Session Coaching is not therapy. While therapy focuses on mental health concerns and deeper emotional processing, Single Session Coaching is designed to help professionals tackle specific business, leadership, or personal challenges in a focused, action-oriented way. It’s about gaining clarity, solving problems, and moving forward—not addressing past trauma or mental health issues.
What is Single Session Therapy?
Since the 1980s, Single Session Therapy (SST) has emerged as a structured and effective approach to psychotherapy, gaining recognition for its ability to deliver meaningful results in just one session. Rooted in brief therapy and solution-focused approaches, SST operates on the principle that a well-focused, single session can be enough to create significant change—whether by resolving an issue or providing the clarity needed for next steps.
What topics can be addressed in Single Session Coaching?
A wide range of topics can be addressed, including career decisions, personal development, leadership challenges, and team dynamics. The focus is on your immediate need and how to overcome that.
How should I prepare for my Single Session Coaching appointment?
We’ll cover all of that in your intake call. We would highly recommend that you give yourself 30 minutes before the call to clear your head, relax, drink a glass of water and do nothing.
How does Single Session Coaching integrate with The Leadership Circle?
We take a different view on leadership development: if the insight is right, change can happen in a single session—not a six-month programme.
The Leadership Circle (TLC) is a powerful tool for surfacing the inner dynamics that shape leadership behaviour. It shows, with precision, where a leader’s energy is being spent—whether that’s overinvesting in controlling, distancing, or pleasing and underinvesting in creative leadership capacities like relating systems awareness, and purposeful vision.
But once the insights are on the table, what then?
Most development paths suggest a gradual journey—months of coaching or intensive training. We take a different view.
Single Session Coaching (SSC) is designed to deliver transformation in the moment. One focused, 90-minute constellation-based session—plus a 30-minute prep call—can surface the deeper loyalties, fears, or patterns behind a leader’s reactive tendencies. Often, when these are seen clearly and compassionately, the grip begins to loosen—immediately.
For example:
If a leader knows they need to move from being highly Results Driven to cultivating more Relating, SSC helps them uncover the story or system that makes results feel like the only safe currency. We don’t just talk about it—we make it visible.
If a leader is stuck in Distance and wants to grow into Systems Awareness, we can show the system in action. We map what they are part of, where they are entangled, and what’s trying to emerge.
This kind of insight doesn’t need repetition. It needs resonance.
Our belief is simple: if TLC reveals the direction of growth, SSC helps a leader take the first real step—with clarity, immediacy, and impact.
Is it possible to join SSC as a coach? What qualifications or experience do I need?
Is it possible to join SSC as a coach? What qualifications or experience do I need?
Yes, we’re always open to exceptional coaches joining the SSC ecosystem. But it’s not for everyone.
We’re looking for experienced practitioners—those with 8+ years of deep experience in family and/or organisational constellations and a proven track record of working with high-level business clients. You’ll need to be comfortable handling complexity, cutting to the heart of the matter, and working fast, intuitively, and grounded.
More than that, you’ll need a passion for truth, a love of seeing people break through, and a deep respect for the invisible dynamics that shape human systems. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to coach people endlessly—I want to do something that actually shifts the system in one session,” then you’re probably in the right place.
We’re building a collective of like-minded, sharp, soulful coaches who believe in doing meaningful work—without the fluff.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear more.
