What if I already have some CBT experience? Will I still benefit?

Yes. Many clinicians who already use CBT find that this course helps them refine their skills and deepen their understanding of the model.

The training revisits the core principles of CBT while offering updated frameworks and therapy demonstrations that show how experienced therapists apply these methods in practice. It’s a valuable way to strengthen your foundation and feel more confident and effective in how you use CBT with clients.


How does Foundational CBT differ from advanced or specialized courses?

This course is where you learn to think like a CBT clinician. Before we can do good CBT, we need to understand how it works, both as a scientific model and as a practical way of helping people change. Foundational CBT lays out the key concepts and techniques that underpin CBT, showing how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact to maintain distress. It is designed for professionals at any level to understand and apply these ideas confidently.

This training provides the mindset and framework that advanced and specialized CBT courses build on, giving you a strong foundation to use CBT effectively in your own work.
