Course details

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychological treatment that has been shown to be effective in treating a range of mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This course provides an introduction to CBT, its theoretical background, and practical techniques.

The course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the principles and practices of CBT. It covers the basic principles of CBT, including the role of thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in mental health, as well as the application of CBT in different contexts. The course also introduces the concept of cognitive restructuring, a key technique used in CBT to help clients challenge and modify unhelpful thought patterns.

In addition, the course covers a range of practical skills and techniques used in CBT, such as behavioural activation, exposure therapy, and problem-solving skills. These skills are taught through a combination of theoretical lectures, case studies, and practical exercises. The course also covers the ethical and professional issues related to the practice of CBT.
