Course Description
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used evidence-based therapies. It is also frequently reduced to simplistic techniques that overlook the depth of the model.
This training provides a clear and practical foundation in CBT as it is intended to be practised. You will learn how to conceptualise distress through the CBT framework and apply interventions with structure and precision.
Drawing on extensive clinical experience and advanced training at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia with the late Dr Aaron T. Beck, this course focuses on the core principles that underpin effective CBT. The emphasis is on clinical application rather than surface-level technique.
You will leave with a stronger understanding of how to use CBT thoughtfully, flexibly, and effectively in real-world practice.
