| | SCOTACS Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork. A Cognitive Behavioural Approach
To meet with growing demand, The Centre of Therapy is delighted to announce a further Diploma in Counselling and Groupwork (CBT).The two year, part time Diploma, held as a monthly (one weekend per month) and a weekly (one day per week) course, results in certification as a fully qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. These courses start in September each year and finish in June.
With growing demand for CBT Therapists in both the public and private sector, many people are considering this as a new career path.
What is CBT?
The Centre specialises in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy courses, or CBT as it is known. CBT is an approach which enables clients to change the way they think, feel and behave. It can be an effective treatment for anxiety and depression, phobias, stress, interpersonal issues and addiction amongst other issues. Due to the relatively short treatment period (usually 6 -12 weeks), CBT is often recommended for referral by GP's and Mental Health Organisations.
Why CBT?
Why a career in CBT? As people, we never stop growing or re-evaluating our personal situation. Many are turning to CBT as a practical means of effecting positive change in their lives, and there is a growing demand for those who can provide the tools and techniques to achieve that. It is a profession suitable for people from all walks of life. The good thing is that there is no such thing as a typical therapist. | | |
