Salford Cognitive Therapy Training Centre

The Centre

The Salford Cognitive Therapy Training Centre was established in 2000 with the aim of creating a centre of excellence for cognitive therapy training in the northwest region. This aim has been achieved and maintained with the support of local clinicians, managers at Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Manchester, and that of regional, national and international leaders in cognitive therapy.

All centre staff are experienced in cognitive therapy and have extensive training from centres in Oxford, Newcastle and California. The Postgraduate Diploma programme has workshops led by experts in the field of cognitive therapy, many of whom have international reputations. The programme supervisors all have extensive knowledge and experience of cognitive therapy practice, training, supervision and research.

At the SCTTC we offer 4 courses -

All the programmes are based in Psychology Services on the Prestwich site of Greater Manchester West Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust. They are designed to fit in with NHS recommendations regarding the development of clinical practice as stipulated in the National Service Framework. Skills and knowledge gained on these programmes will enable Practitioners to meet the objectives set out in Clinical Governance.

The Salford Cognitive Therapy Training Centre is committed to the principles of life long learning and continuing professional development.
