About
CBT: Skills in Practice (Level 1) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and widely used therapeutic approaches, but it is also highly misunderstood. In this three-hour professional development training, I will provide you with foundational CBT skills that go beyond simple “thought challenging” to help you truly understand CBT in its essence. With extensive training and experience using CBT in clinical practice, I had the privilege of training at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia with the late Dr Aaron T. Beck, the founding father of CBT. Let me show you the CBT I know and love—how to use it effectively and make the most of this groundbreaking therapy. (You can also purchase this as a bundle with CBT: Skills in Practice Level 2 for a complete CBT training package!) What You’ll Learn: ✅ The CBT model – understanding how CBT conceptualises psychological distress. ✅ How to create a case conceptualisation – applying CBT theory to real-world clients. ✅ Psychometric tools commonly used in CBT – how to select and interpret them. ✅ Identifying maladaptive thinking – and what to do when clients struggle to recognise their patterns. ✅ Socratic Questioning & Thought Evaluation – my signature approach to modifying unhelpful thoughts. ✅ Behavioural Activation deep dive – using this tool properly for maximum therapeutic impact. (Hint: it’s not just scheduling activities!) ✅ Troubleshooting & working with tricky clients – overcoming hurdles when clients don’t respond to standard CBT strategies. Who Is This For? 🔹 Psychologists, therapists, and mental health professionals looking for strong foundational CBT skills. 🔹 Clinicians who want a deeper, practical understanding of CBT beyond basic thought challenging.
