Course content

One in four adults in the UK will experience mental illness in their lifetime.* Do you want to support individuals and make a real difference to their mental health and wellbeing?

By joining our course you'll develop your knowledge and practice of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), allowing you to work as a CBT (high intensity) practitioner.

The programme aims to provide you with a clear understanding of cognitive-behavioural concepts, models, and methods by focusing on the evidence-based treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. At the end of the course, you'll be prepared to work as a therapist with the ability and confidence to use what you have learned in a safe and effective way.

Our course gives you the opportunity to put the therapeutic skills you've learned into practice during your weekly clinical supervision sessions. You'll receive dedicated support and expert teaching from a team of accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapists with a wide range of experience across primary and secondary care.
