Practical CBT

Practical CBT delivers high quality training workshops across the UK for therapists, counsellors, health care workers, educators and the general public

A key part of our training programmes is the extensive resource guides we provide for all delegates.

We offer CPD programmes on a wide range of psychological conditions and issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, anger, bereavement, couples issues, dependency and Therapist Self Care, along with specialist sessions for SMEs and charitable organisations. We focus on a CBT approach but integrating mindfulness, compassion, schema therapy and metacognitive approaches.
