Course Information
Course content
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy used widely within a range of talking therapies. It is a model of working with our thought processes and behaviour to change emotional responses. It can be applied in both a professional and personal setting.
CBT is one of the treatments of choice within the NHS system and can be used to help treat issues such as depression and anxiety.
CBT can be a useful addition to the therapists' toolbox for client work.
We will explore together:
The five Major Principles of CBT

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.
