About One-at-a-Time (OAAT) Counselling
Although OAAT Counselling – sometimes called Single Session Therapy (SST) – has been around for a long time, interest has steadily increased among providers and within mental health and addiction health service delivery systems. OAAT thinking is a core component of our evidence-informed Stepped Care 2.0 (SC2.0) model, which considers that every interaction within the mental health system is an opportunity for a person to have a helpful experience and address their immediate concerns. OAAT Counselling offers a strength-based, person-centric practice – recognizing that wisdom is not limited to mental health professionals and that individuals often know what is best for them.
