Schema Focused CBT

 
To identify people's key schemas is as close as we get to finding 'what makes a
person tick'.

 
A schema is a package of behaviour, biology, emotion and cognitions, which all fire off when triggered by the right stimulus. So if someone has a strong schema of 'mistrust', this will easily be triggered in situations which may not warrant mistrust. This will have unfortunate results for their relationships and more; a person's mistrusting behaviour is not good to receive. The course is about (a) how to identify the schemas that people have, and (b) how to intervene to modify those schemas to the benefit of everyone.
 
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £4,195 plus VAT.

DBT Essentials
 
Instruction in the key components of DBT for those who want to add them to their repertoire without necessarily becoming 'a DBT therapist'.

 

DBT brought together a series of skills and techniques which are powerful and well chosen ones, for working with personality disorder as well as in other areas. Many people want to familiarise themselves with these skills without necessarily becoming a DBT therapist, and this course is for you if you are one of those people. It covers the key areas of: validation; core mindfulness skills; skills of regulating one's emotions; distress-tolerance skills and more.

Mindfulness-Based CBT
 
Mindfulness, and, more recently, mindfulness-based CBT, have had a major - and welcome - impact on the therapeutic world.

 
This course concentrates much more on Mindfulness than it does on CBT. So it explains why Mindfulness meditation is likely help recurrently depressed people, looks briefly at the published evidence that confirms that it can, and the NICE guidelines that commend it, but spends most of the time in experiential exercises and in discussing those exercises. There is a small amount of lecture input, but listening to lectures on Mindfulness is not a sensible pastime so the course focuses on understanding Mindfulness, acquiring the ability to practise Mindfulness meditation, and the ability to convey it to others.
 
A 2-day course for 6-16 people.
We bring the training to you for an all-inclusive fee of £2,950 plus VAT.

ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
 
'Once in a while there is a unique contribution to psychotherapy.'
 
ACT adopts a new strategy that moves away from the 'rational strategies of behaviour and thought change' that many people have tried and failed with. Focusing mainly on how people understand and perpetuate their difficulties through language, ACT concentrates on exciting interventions based on metaphor and paradox, with experiential exercises to show how to break free of language traps, overcome common behavioural problems and enhance life satisfaction.
