Post-Qualifying Certificate in CBT

Post-Qualifying Certificate in CBT
(for Qualified Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Psychologists)

* Are you interested in learning more about CBT?
* Do you want to add to the portfolio of skills that you use to work with clients?

Increasingly, counsellors and psychotherapists are being asked whether they are able to provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. CBT is essentially about thinking, distorted judgements and behaviours following rigid thinking.

This course, for qualified counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists will introduce participants to the CBT model and provide basic CBT skills and strategies for working with clients. On successful completion participants will be qualified to use CBT skills in their private practice and organisational work settings as per their primary clinical qualification, under appropriate CBT supervision. Successful participants will also be eligible for a clinical placement in the WPF Therapy CBT service.

Course Structure
The course consists of seminars and case discussion. The general principle will be to provide formal teaching and then discussion of casework in the second half. The basic concepts, techniques that facilitate change in cognitive therapy and practical examination of working with clients will be covered.

N.B. The accreditation requirements for BABCP change regularly. Accreditation is on an individual basis. If you are interested in individual accreditation you should contact BABCP directly.

However, the BABCP have advised WPF Therapy that introductory courses can be included in an applicant's overall accumulation of hours in meeting the Minimum Training Standards for accreditation as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with BABCP. The WPF Therapy course can be used for these purposes as it is delivered by qualified CBT practitioners/trainers.
