Course outline
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) focuses on the role that thoughts play regarding both emotions and behaviour, and advocates that change in thought processes can have a significant effect upon altering behaviours. This is a goal-oriented and specific approach which often results in positive and meaningful change in a short period of time. A range of evidence indicated that CBT is an effective intervention for supporting young people with a range of difficulties.
Key elements:
