Foundational CBT

Your learning journey begins by understanding what makes up ‘normal’ human functioning from a cognitive, behavioral and emotional perspective, and what can ‘go wrong’ to cause psychological suffering and distress.

You will then be guided step-by-step through the essential framework of treatment, learning how to compassionately apply strategies and interventions that are both practical and effective in assisting clients from diverse backgrounds to overcome a range of psychological issues. 

As Cognitive Behavioral Therapy continues to evolve beyond classical interventions you will also be introduced to modern ‘third wave’ CBT interventions such as working with emotion, acceptance and mindfulness strategies.

It’s a comprehensive training experience in the essentials of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy brought to you by dynamic trainers and acknowledged world leading experts who distill decades of clinical knowledge into a course that’s both enjoyable and practical for every day therapeutic practice.
