Intermediate: Cognitive Behavior Therapy- (Fully Accredited)

This course is fully accredited by IAOTH (International Association of Therapists) and a certificate is provided upon completion. It is a follow on from my Introduction to CBT and focuses on higher level understanding of CBT theory and practice, specifically looking at Dysfunctional Assumptions/Life Rules, their part in psychological distress, their development and how to amend unhelpful Life Rules. This is an excellent course that takes the student to a higher level understanding of how CBT works. The course is suitable for anyone with an interest in CBT and how it works, it is also suitable for people undergoing CBT, thinking about accessing CBT or for those who provide therapy for clients. There is a free copy of my book: The Little Book of Thinking Errors (in downloadable pdf format) as a recap of Thinking Errors in CBT. The style of teaching is relaxed, informal and professional and throughout the course, students are encouraged to think through issues covered and to discuss with friends, colleagues or associates. Students are also encouraged to get in touch with the lecturer with any questions or queries they may have. The lecturer also welcomes students opinion on any of the points discussed throughout the course. An excellent course for anyone with an interest in the topic, either from a personal or professional perspective. The course is taught by Kevin O’Doherty, Psychologist, Forensic Mental Health Expert Witness and CBT Therapist. Kevin has worked in mental health for over 20 years and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience during that time. This course is also available via live streaming and face to face upon request. Individuals and organisations alike are encouraged to get in touch.
