Programme Overview
This course is part of the ‘Increasing Access to Psychological Therapies’ programme (IAPT) run by the NHS and is for trainee High Intensity Psychological Therapists employed by the NHS. It is intended to train competent evidence-based psychotherapists who will treat anxiety and depression using cognitive and behavioural interventions.
The course focuses on (i): practical clinical skills, via experiential workshops and clinical supervision delivered by experienced cognitive behaviour therapy practitioners, and (ii): the theories and evidence underpinning intervention, via guided reading and expert-led seminars.
Trainees will be at the University two days per week and in service delivery sites applying their new learning for the remainder of their working week. One day of the course will be given over to supervision, seminars and library time; the second day will be for skills workshops. Assessment is via clinical recordings, case studies and a theoretical essay.
