Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Course
A Distance Learning Diploma Course of 10 Lessons
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is a therapy that focuses on assessing the particular ways in which individuals think, behave, perceive, act and react. This knowledge will equip the therapist, or individual, to deal successfully, with their own or their client’s, behavioural, emotional and social challenges.
CBT is a powerful and practical tool for personal exploration, problem solving and development. CBT therapists work to unlock and release the potential within their clients, to bring about ‘major positive improvements’ and changes in their lives by focusing upon presenting issues and offering a more balanced and focused ways of looking at, addressing and handling such matters, with a more positive outcome. Additionally this therapy offers ‘strategies and techniques’ for addressing and dispelling negative thought processes/patterns. CBT offers the sufferer of panic disorders/ agoraphobia and many other similar ailments, the solution of learning, by practice and repetition, new ways of dealing with difficult situations and the anxieties they may cause.
This subject is complemented by our Life Coaching Course.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Course Feedback
I had always found counselling, and how the brain works, very interesting but had never really pursued it until Kathy was unable to complete her Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) course and I took it over.
I had recently had a bad time at work, which resulted in having counselling myself, so I grabbed the chance to do the course as it would help me, if nothing else. I thoroughly enjoyed the subject and, upon successful completion, I actually felt that I had achieved something important for my future.
I have not looked back and now I am actually working with my ‘first client’ and feel that I am doing something worthwhile with my life and have just enrolled on the Psychotherapy & Counselling course as this is the direction I want my life to go in.
The course has provided all the tools that I need and is very much a tangible qualification for working as a Therapist.
Philip Bailey
I really enjoyed working on the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy course. I am finding the other courses just as enjoyable too. They have been beneficial to the work that I do, and I have already put into practice what I have learnt.
This type of distance learning suits me because I can choose when I work on the modules.
Susan Higgins
I use CBT in school with sixth-form children having mainly eating disorders and anger issues. This course has been invaluable in structuring the approach to practical work. The methods described do actually work and I feel they have really enhanced the lives of a number of children who would otherwise have been labelled difficult or disruptive. Many thanks for a really amazing course.
