Introduction to Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

The introduction to cognitive behavioural therapy is a two-day course covering the foundational elements of CBT in an informative and energised way.

The course is ideal for therapists who wish to add another skill to their practice. It is also perfect for those who work in mental health or other healthcare professions.

We will explore together the five major principles of CBT:

• the cognitive principle
• the behaviour principle
• the continuum principle
• the here and now principle
• the empirical principle

We will also be looking at the key elements of the CBT model including levels of cognition, the generic model of CBT, assessment, formulation and behaviours. The course also explores how CBT is used to treat anxiety and depression.

​Our learning will include case study examples to illustrate its application.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the day, participants will:

• have a greater understanding of CBT means for them, as individuals, as practitioners and in the context of their work
• have an understanding of the CBT model process of change through thoughts, behaviours and emotions
• be able to identify where CBT may be used within their professional work
  be able to identify unhelpful thinking styles within their own lives
