CBT Foundation Certificate and Practitioner Certificate in CBT
Four day training in CBT for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists already trained within a non-CBT modality leading to a Foundation Certificate in CBT, with a further four days of CBT training leading to a Practitioner’s Certificate in CBT.
With all the current media and government focus on CBT it may seem to psychotherapists and counsellors trained in other models that it is taking over the world!
Who is the course for?
This course is in two-parts, the first 4 days lead to a Foundation Certificate and is open to all students who are seeing clients and who have an interest in extending the range of their therapeutic knowledge and skills. It aims to teach relevant skills of CBT in a way that respects the thinking and practice of other therapeutic orientations.
As well as full attendance, participants will need to complete a 2000 word essay, which focuses on the integration of CBT theory within their own therapeutic approach. Successful completion will result in a Metanoia Foundation Certificate in CBT.
The Foundation Certificate also serves as a pre-requisite for those students who wish to continue their studies and enter onto the Metanoia Practitioner Certificate in CBT, which involves a further 4 days of training and written work. It is also possible for students who have undertaken an equivalent introductory course elsewhere, to join the course at this stage, following the successful submission of a short APL (Accreditation of Prior Learning) portfolio. As well as full attendance, participants on the Practitioners Certificate route, will need to complete a 4000 word case study on a client, which demonstrates the application of the CBT model in practice.
What will be covered:
In the Foundation Certificate, we will cover the following topics: History and philosophy of CBT; the current situation with IAPT; assessment; specific CBT skills; working with people who present with anxiety problems such as generalised anxiety; phobias and obsessional compulsive problems . We will also cover working with people presenting with depression. Above all we will examine not only the differences but the similarities between CBT and other models of therapy and examine ways of integrating CBT into current practice. Many non-CBT therapists are already doing CBT without knowing it!
