OPD Points: 10
This workshop aims to provide learners with an understanding of the theory and practice of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT). In addition to sound theoretical knowledge, learners will learn the essential core skills required to practice CBT clinically.
CBT is a highly structured, short-term, present-oriented psychological therapy (aka psychotherapy) that aims to resolve a client’s presenting issues by modifying dysfunctional thoughts and maladaptive behaviours. CBT is one of the most evidence-based research psychotherapies shown to effectively manage various disorders, particularly clinical depression and anxiety disorders.
This workshop is for learners who want to practice CBT but do not have the necessary training. This workshop is suitable for potential CBT Psychotherapists or Associate Psychologists (counselling) who are passionate about others in achieving more meaningful results in life.
