Many of the challenges that we experience are based on irrational and unhelpful thought patterns that impact both our feelings and our behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a time-sensitive, structured, and present-oriented form of counselling that focuses on problem solving and teaching individuals how to modify these distorted patterns of thinking. CBT is also one of the most well-known, researched, and practiced forms of therapy available to us. This workshop provides a strong foundational knowledge of the principles and strategies involved in using CBT. Participants will gain an understanding of which populations tend to benefit the most from CBT, and will be equipped with many strategies and tools that can be practically applied in their work.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

  • Understand the definition of CBT and how this model differs from other counselling frameworks
  • Identify which problems are most conducive to CBT, and those that are less suitable for CBT
  • Describe how to develop an effective therapeutic relationship

  • Assist clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs
  • Practice key behavioural and problem-solving interventions
  • Understand the challenges and limitations of using this model
