It’s a valuable way to strengthen your foundation and feel more confident and effective in how you use CBT with clients.

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.

This training teaches the core interventions that make CBT both scientifically grounded and practical to use in everyday clinical work.

You’ll learn evidence-based strategies across emotional, cognitive, and behavioural domains, with clear guidance on how to apply them effectively. Emotional regulation strategies include relaxation, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches. Cognitive work focuses on restructuring, attention shifting, and problem solving, while behavioural techniques cover exposure, contingency management, and skills training to help clients make meaningful change.
