CBT Diploma Course Introduction
The aim of the DipCBT programme is to equip students with the range of knowledge and skills necessary to work with clients as Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) counsellors/psychotherapists.
Students will develop a critical understanding of the scientific and theoretical underpinnings of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for common mental health disorders.
We believe that theory and practice are intertwined, and we aim to enable participants to critically explore this link.
The DipCBT programme aims to equip students with the core competencies to practise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and to provide the appropriate training to progress towards accreditation with COSCA, BACP or BABCP as Cognitive Behavioural Therapists.
Students will be expected to complete the DipCBT programme with a high level of skill, ethical understanding, and have the necessary self-awareness to begin a career in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
