The Diploma in Cognitive Coaching and Mentoring course equips you in the knowledge and skills of coaching and mentoring enhanced by knowledge and skills in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

This CBT coaching course is rooted in developmental psychology and is commonly applied in organisational settings. Cognitive behavioural coaching is associated with team building, executive coaching, management coaching, life-skills coaching, career development and personal and professional development.

Mentoring is associated with positive personal and professional growth, career outcomes and development. You will learn the skills, techniques and in depth insights of mentoring. In the role of mentor, you will contract and develop with your client a highly personal yet professional relationship that is creative, dynamic and intentional resulting in a positive outcome.

Mentoring enables the individual to develop a greater sense of fulfilment, role identification, internal authority and identity that results in a greater level of competency and personal satisfaction.

CBT knowledge and techniques are used to support the roles of the coach and mentor by introducing the ABC model which aids greater understanding of the impact of beliefs, thoughts and feelings to client behaviours.

course content materials were good, my only criticism is the initial instructions were hard to understand what was expected.

Very easy to follow-only criticism is that proof reading is needed & a lot of web addresses are no longer available, so updating required.

Syllabus for Diploma in Cognitive Coaching and Mentoring

The course is an amalgam of the Certificate in Developing Skills in CBT (Course 150), the Certificate in Coaching (Course 610) and the the Certificate in Mentoring (Course 620).

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
  • interceptive exposure


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.

I liked the structure of the course. The material was interessting and was presented very clear, and the set-up in the folder was inviting to learn. I liked that there were colourful graphics to enhance the learning experience. A great benefit is that each stutdent is assigned a personal tutor to help them through the coure. Marie Murphy was my personal tutor, she was very helpful and supportive with any questions and concerns I had. Her feedback on my written work was always encouraging and uplifting. She certainly has a great gift in tutoring and I am very grateful that Marie was assigned to me. The course content is clear and in depth. I got a good overview of CBT in general and about specific disorders and different methods used. What I was missing a little is that the content of the course material is still the same as fifteen years ago. I would have liked to see more of the newer approaches or new methods that have evolved and have enhanced CBT since then. But that is my personal preference. Over all it is a great course and I can really recommend it to others. A great benefit is that it is accredited by the ACCPH which is internationally recognised.
