Description

Facing challenging problems is part of daily life. Some people readily take on their personal challenges with a positive attitude and turn stressful scenarios into opportunities. Others, on the other hand, may find challenges too overwhelming that they start manifesting behavioural and emotional issues and developing negative thoughts about themselves and the world around them. When these persist, help becomes necessary to enable those concerned to recognise their experiences, initiate positive changes, and move forward in their lives. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one form of such help.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy treatment wherein therapeutic talk is used as a tool to enable people to make sense of their experiences. It also offers guidance on setting realistic goals and suggesting ways to correct their way of thinking, deal with their personal challenges, and address their problematic behaviours and emotions. CBT has a reputation for being a highly effective treatment for a wide range of problems, including anxiety disorders, depression, addiction, body image issues, personality disorders, eating disorders, anger problems, phobias, and relationship problems.

This Online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy course will introduce you to some of the essential background and concepts of this form of psychotherapy treatment. It will explain what CBT stands for and how it is being used by mental health professionals. It will also give you an idea about human development and life stages. The course will also explore different CBT approaches and techniques as well as the common human difficulties that CBT can address, including minor emotional problems, anxiety, relationship issues, and much more.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
