This course aims to equip experienced CBT healthcare professionals with the enhanced CBT skills necessary to implement evidence-based treatment across a wide range of clinical presentations, and to disseminate these treatments as trainers and supervisors to other practitioners.

To apply to this course you must have already completed or be in the process of completing the University's PGCert in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or equivalent high-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training (see Entry requirements for further details).

This course is designed to help you achieve certain aims. By the end of the course, students should be able to:

appreciate how theory, research and clinical practice inform each other in cognitive behavioural therapy, contributing to its continued development
establish and practise a repertoire of enhanced cognitive behavioural skills
develop the ability to apply these skills with specialist patient groups and problem areas encountered in their own places of work
establish and maintain warm, respectful, collaborative relationships, and develop the ability to understand and manage difficulties in the alliance (including the student’s contribution) using a cognitive conceptual framework
through consultation, identify and resolve difficulties in practice, whether arising from theoretical, practical, interpersonal, personal or ethical problems.

You will be expected to have access to treatment settings with regular clinical and CBT supervision where cognitive behavioural therapy skills can be practised and refined on a regular basis.
