Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – 3 Day Course

July 6, 2015

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is now a key psychological approach being used to help people in a range of settings. It uses evidence based skills that enable people to learn how thoughts, feelings and behaviours are linked, and the patterns that can create emotional problems. It allows people to develop an understanding of how powerful changes can come about through a step by step process by using CBT.

This 3 day experiential training programme is aimed at providing workers with a practical understanding of this increasingly influential approach to client work. Understanding and using CBT can help clients to overcome unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and contribute to their recovery and empowerment.

This programme is offered as a complete training package, participants are required to attend all sessions.
