Glasgow Cognitive Therapy Centre - The GCTC

The Glasgow Cognitive Therapy Centre is delighted to announce that it is now an SQA Approved Centre. This means that we can now train and assess SQA candidates as well as explore and accommodate new courses and cutting edge developments in Therapy, within the SQA framework.

This is a coveted achievement and heralds a new era in delivering quality vocational and educational training in Therapy in Scotland. SQA have recognised and approved our ability to deliver Therapy related courses and we look forward to expanding on our range of educational tools over the coming months.

In response to a growing number of students who have approached us to finish Diplomas begun elsewhere, we are developing our Acquired Prior Learning Route (APL).This course is due to begin at the end of January and places are strictly limited, so early application is recommended.

How do I finish my Diploma? Simply complete a Diploma application form to apply for a place in our course. You will need to attach an outline of your study on your previous Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.  References will be taken up.

Course Costs are assessed on an individual basis, depending on the level of work required to complete.

There has never been a better time to train as a psychotherapist - finish what you started and further your career!

The GCTC are delighted to announce their new Therapy 'taster' courses.  These 1/2 day and 1 day workshops are ideal for those who are considering studying in a therapy related area, or who simply wish to find out more about CBT for their own personal use.

CBT is an approach which helps with many issues by focusing on how you think, act and feel and is recommended by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence as a treatment for anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, stress and other issues.

CBT is based on a model of how you experience the world - this model is called the 5 Factor model. You respond to the world around you through your Thoughts, Feelings, Emotions, Behaviour and Physiology.
