Professor Windy Dryden has been working with SDS Seminars since 2015, delivering for us his training on Single-Session Integrated CBT (these courses were our first experiences with webcasting and we've never looked back since!) and recording with us his client sessions on topics like Working with Guilt, Self-Deprecation, Procrastination and Perfectionism.

In January 2020 Professor Dryden is running a one-day Masterclass for us on Single-Session Therapy.
