What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy that is commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but it can also be used to treat other mental and physical problems.
It is based on the concept that negative thoughts can trap you in a cycle, with its aim to break down problems into smaller parts to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way.
During this Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT QLS Level 4, you will explore the triadic structure of CBT, models of memory, planned behavioural experiments, and much more.
All course materials will be delivered to you by post or email, so it couldn’t be easier. Our experienced and friendly tutors will help you every step of the way by email.
You can work at your own pace. Completed coursework can be delivered by post or via email, so handing in an assignment is simple.
