Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

 

 

About the Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

 

The Certificate in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), aims to provide an introduction to the theory and practice of CBT, with emphasis on the development of clinical skills. It is predominantly aimed at health and social care professionals e.g. RMN's, Social Workers, Accredited Counsellors, Medical staff and Occupational Therapists who have some case management responsibility, and can access clients with mild to moderate problems of anxiety and depression. We are currently piloting a system whereby those without a core health or social care profession will be considered for eligibility via the Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes framework developed by the BABCP. For information about this route see KSA Portfolio details below.

 

Course Fee

For February 2011 the fee will be £1,500.00.

 

 

What is Covered in the Programme?

 

The CBT certificate focuses on the theory of CBT assessment, formulation and treatment and the clinical skills necessary to apply this theory to practice.  The emphasis throughout the programme is on working with specific anxiety disorders and depression.  It is expected that trainees will work with two clients, under supervision, though an "adequate trial of therapy" for the duration of the programme.  The programme runs for 15 weeks (one day per week on a Friday), twice per year in February and September.
