Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has emerged as one of the most effective treatments for a wide range of psychological problems. By helping a client understand how their thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact to maintain faulty patterns of thinking, CBT assists them in developing a more constructive approach to problem solving and life in general.

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the theory underlying CBT, the counselling skills that underpin good therapeutic practice and how to implement specific CBT techniques in the treatment of depression, anxiety and other common mental health problems.

You Will Learn:
What is meant by the term ‘cognitive behavioural therapy’ (CBT) and the underlying principles that guide CBT practitioners.
How counselling works to promote change and the basic counselling skills every therapist needs to develop.
How to develop listening skills that promote client disclosure and how to communicate empathy.
How to help clients identify their irrational beliefs and how the ABC model is used to guide CBT.
How to formulate a case and plan CBT sessions.
How to select and implement CBT tools such as journaling, behavioural experiments and challenging maladaptive thoughts.
How to use CBT techniques to help someone overcome depression and resume engagement with day-to-day life.
