Program Outline

Degree Overview:

This PGCert Introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (non-clinical) course focuses on teaching evidence-based psychological interventions within a range of mental health problems. Run by the Charlie Waller Institute (CWI) for Evidence-based Psychological Treatment, this course is suitable as an introduction for new professionals in the area of mental health, as well as existing therapists who wish to update their knowledge within evidence-based practice. This course is ideal for those already working in the area of mental health and wish to improve their clinical knowledge in skills within psychological treatments that have been shown to be effective. The content of the course is kept up to date with modifications made when new evidence becomes available or when the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) produces new recommendations. Students can attend specific modules according to their individual professional needs and working environment. Some modules hone skills and knowledge in a specific area (e.g., older people, trauma, etc. ), and others cover a diverse range of disorders in less detail. Depending on the route and modules chosen, these programs may or may not include clinical components. Each module holds a University credit evaluation, and on successful completion, these credits can be accumulated towards a University of Reading qualification in Professional Development in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (non-clinical).
