Yes, all very good. I would have liked a few examples of case studies where CBT was actually being applied - like an interview with the words of the person being counselled and the counsellor.

Syllabus for Certificate in Developing Skills in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is a series of strategies specifically targeted at an individual’s disorder.

These can include:

  • cognitive therapy
  • relaxation
  • breathing techniques
  • interceptive exposure


People with specific issues such as panic attacks, depression, anxiety, anger, etc. are helped by teaching them to control their thought patterns instead of their thought patterns controlling them.

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.


Materials supplied with this course

The course materials consist of 10 lessons and 5 tutor marked assignments, supplemented with suggested background reading.

Certificate in Couple and Family Counselling Skills
I found the course easy to navigate with lots of practice questions and examples. The materials provided were sufficient and relevant to the topics. I particularly enjoyed the understanding and application of theory into practice through the assignments and practice questions. Mairi, was very helpful with her feedback highlighting key areas of satisfactory application of knowledge . This helped me understand the need to understand the case and apply relevant principle in practice

Certificate in Christian Counselling
I really enjoyed the course and want to carry on with course 2400 to level 4. I expected to get a bit more support from my tutor tbh, like a quick call or messaging back and forth a bit more, but her feedback was valuable and to the point. I think the assignment 5 wording can be improved. It was not very clear and I got marked as C which was upsetting. I’d have done a much better job, had the instructions been clearer. Happy to be corrected. Thanks.

Marie was very helpful and advice offered readily via email or zoom. I would have preferred more interactive online work but other than that the course work easy to follow.

Having returned to learning I found that learning on-line was initially quite difficult. Personally in the early stages when it took me some time to get into my stride a telephone call from the institute to inquire how things were going would have been supportive. My tutor was very supportive and encouraging.
