Course Info
- Course Content
  This Diploma has 2 modules: Module 1, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (Course 150)
  and Module 2, Certificate in understanding Addiction Counselling (Course 152).
  
  Module 1, (CBT) is based on the premise that our interpretation of an event is crucial in determining how we feel and react. Where beliefs and thought patterns are negative or unrealistic, a variety of problems may occur leading to possible emotional disorders. CBT aims to alleviate emotional distress. CBT has proved to be very effective in treating clients who have addiction issues.
  
  CBT is a series of strategies specifically targeted at an individual’s disorder.
  These can include:
  
  cognitive therapy
  
  relaxation
  
  breathing techniques

  You are introduced to the ABC Model of counselling. This describes the interaction between the clients’ behaviours, feelings and thoughts.
  You are also taught to identify errors in thinking and to challenge damaging beliefs your clients may have. The aim is to enhance your effectiveness as a counsellor by teaching you the skills and the techniques of CBT, through providing case studies, illustrations, practical activities and assignments.
