CBT with Eating Disorders
 
Tragically, some eating disorders have a very high mortality rate. And yet there are usually good ways of treating them.
 

Eating Disorders pose a tremendous threat to an individual’s physical and mental well-being
and are usually a source of great concern to friends, family and professionals alike. This
course looks at the full range of eating disorder presentations, and recognises that many individuals present in ways that don’t perfectly fit any of the diagnostic categories. The
course addresses the complex causes of an individual’s eating disorder alongside validated
and evidence-based cognitive behavioural understanding and techniques for successful intervention.

 
A 2-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £2,875 plus VAT.

CBT with Depression
 
Depression is the common cold of mental health; it is widespread and we
haven't been good at treating it, until now.
 

Depression has a range of insidious and unpleasant effects including sadness, behavioural
apathy, biological aspects including sleep disturbance, cognitive deficits of concentration
etc, and an impaired ability to function socially. Little wonder then that it causes such distress. This course covers the CBT solutions to depression.

CBT with Stress and Worry
 
Stress and worry ruin the lives of thousands of people, and yet there are effective techniques to counteract it.
 
An increasing number of people have reported feelings of 'stress', often stemming from a
particular worry which then generalises to cover virtually the whole of the person's waking -
and sleeping - hours. This effectively wrecks the quality of the person's life, and often of
those around them. This course aims to provide CBT solutions to this, including where the
stress is 'real'.

CBT with Panic
 
Panic is devastating for those who suffer from it, and the techniques for dealing
with it are specific to it and very effective.
 
Panic is underrated by those who have never experienced it. Typically, it virtually disables
the person during the attack; they feel as though they are seriously ill, cannot see properly,
and may not be able to control themselves. It is usually associated with agoraphobia as the sufferer does not wish to venture far from 'safety'. This course aims to cover the CBT
strategies both for panic and related agoraphobia.

CBT with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
 
OCD usually takes over the sufferer's life, and it is the behavioural element of
CBT that come to the fore in treating it.
 
An obsession is where the person has a fixed idea that is distressing (e.g. that their hands
are contaminated and will lead to a serious illness or death) and a compulsion to perform a particular behaviour (in this case, probably to wash their hands). This often has a ritualistic
nature to it (e.g. to wash 3 times) and the whole syndrome can devastate a person's life both
in terms of time, relationships, and finances. This course covers the CBT solutions to OCD.

 
A 2-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £2,875 plus VAT.

CBT with Anger and Irritability
 
Frequent irritability is a demanding condition which requires the therapist to be
at home with all elements of CBT.
 
Being irritable and angry is remarkably common, and can devastate the sufferer's life in
terms of broken relationships, employment, general enjoyment, and, sometimes, criminal conviction. It can be a complicated area with a range of variations, and this course aims to
give a comprehensive CBT solution.

 
A 2-day course for 6-16 people.

CBT with Substance Misuse
  
When use of mood altering substances gets out of control it ruins the person's
life - until we help them regain control.
 
The maladaptive use of mood altering substances (importantly, including alcohol) may
easily devastate the life of the user and of those around them. Although onset may be
insidious the effect can be far reaching and difficult to reverse without skilled and
determined intervention. This course covers the CBT solutions.

 
A 2-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £2,875 plus VAT.
