Do you have a background in counselling or psychology and a level 3 counselling qualification? Would you like to learn how to help people challenge negative thinking so they can approach situations more positively?

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a technique used to treat depression, anxiety, stress and phobias by helping people to understand the way they perceive things that happen to them and around them. It seeks to identify and address negative thoughts that can lead to patterns of negative behaviour.

 

On this Cognitive Behavioural Therapy DipHE, you'll learn the practical knowledge and interpersonal skills you need to pursue a career as a cognitive behavioural therapist.

 

If you're in employment, this course can fit around your working week, with timetabled teaching taking place 1 day a week, workshops on 6 Saturdays throughout the course, and occasional events in the evenings and at weekends.

 

After the course, you could top up your diploma to a Bachelor's degree. You could also work as a cognitive behavioural therapist in areas such as education, the police service, the prison service and the voluntary sector.
