Psychological Intervention (CBT) PGDip

By studying our course, you’ll learn skills which will have a major influence on helping others to improve their emotional wellbeing when dealing with mental health problems. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps people to understand and manage their own thoughts and feelings in their daily lives. Our PGDip will inspire you with in-depth, comprehensive training in this field of expertise.

You should apply to this course if you are interested in training in CBT and have a background in mental health. You normally need to have a British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) approved core profession to apply.

This course will give you the qualifications you need to work as a High Intensity CBT practitioner in Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies services. This allows you to work in other mental health services or in private practice.

We do welcome applications who don’t have a core profession, but still have significant mental health experience. It could be that you’re a psychological wellbeing practitioner or a counsellor without accreditation for the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy or the BABCP. However, you must meet the BABCP’s criteria for knowledge, skills and attitude

You must have a minimum of two years post-qualification mental health experience and a relevant Core Professional Training in applied psychology, psychiatry, nursing, counselling, psychotherapy, occupational therapy or social work, or relevant clinical experience and training demonstrated by a successful KSA portfolio to apply.

All offers will be made subject to receiving evidence of health screening and DBS checks provided by your employer.

Our course is accredited by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies at Level 2. It is also one of only a small number in the UK which accepts self-funded applicants as well as locally funded applicants associated with Improving Access to Psychological Therapies.
