If you’re looking to treat someone this Christmas (and/or yourself), here are three life-changing courses you could be starting on reed.co.uk right now:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
On the first day of Christmas, reed.co.uk gave to me: An industry-recoginised certification in CBT.
CBT, which stands for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, is a type of therapy which helps people overcome their issues by transforming their negative mindset into a positive one.
Generally used to treat anxiety and depression, the principles of CBT can be applied to a range of different situations, with thousands of people all over the world suffering from mental and physical health problems also benefiting from this type of counselling.
This fully certified CBT course covers all the basics to help you get started, as well as looking at key modules on theory, introducing change, and counselling skills.
And the best part? All this month the course is being offered at a massive 89% off the regular retail price, meaning the whole certification is available for less than £70.
Because you can’t put a price on positivity. Oh, wait…
What do I need? There are no formal pre-requisites.
How long will it last? Around 60 hours of part-time study.
Perfect for: People who think, therefore they are.
Nutritionist course
Ok, so there’s a slight possibility you’ll overdo it this Christmas.
But what if we told you that making a few simple changes could drastically improve your chances of maintaining your festive cheer beyond the Boxing Day leftovers and mince pies? And it’s all down to better understanding your nutrition (seamless segway).
Covering key healthy eating areas such as balancing diets, the principles of healthy eating and weight control management, there’s never been an easier way to help keep your waistline (and your career) in check.
And did we mention that there’s a 82% saving on this certification if you get started in the next month? Take that, over-indulging family members.
