Unlocking the Power of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

An interactive day of practical learning and psychological insight.

Discover how CBT can be a vital resource in living life well.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a powerful, evidence-based talking therapy that empowers people to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. Unlike some traditional approaches, CBT focuses on the here and now – helping people tackle current challenges and gain greater control over their emotional wellbeing.

Join us for this dynamic one-day training event where James Binnie, expert clinician and academic, will bring CBT to life through engaging case studies, insightful discussion, and hands-on techniques.

What you’ll gain from this training:

• A solid understanding of the core principles and theory behind CBT
• Practical tools to help others manage distressing thoughts and behaviours
• Effective strategies for addressing anxiety and depression
• Techniques to promote a calmer, more balanced state of mind – especially relevant for young people navigating emotional challenges
• Teenagers, in particular, often describe CBT as a relief – a way to take back control over negative thinking and make meaningful, positive changes in their lives.
