An introduction to Mindfulness is now an established feature of the Diploma Creative CBT. Mindfulness practice enables us to stand back from our thoughts and begin to see their patterns and to cope more effectively.  The Diploma Creative CBT gives participants the chance if they wish to begin their own experience of mindfulness practice which is so essential in passing on this skill to others.

This 10 day course covers CBT approaches to working with Depression, Social Anxiety, OCD and Anger. The course enables creative practitioners to integrate : cognitive role play, games, visualisations and CBT experiments into their established practice.  enabling both children and adults to transform distress emotion.

 “Dear Ken Just to let you know I have been offered an IAPT post - Just wanted to say thank you again for your support and for the great course, couldn't have done it without that. The interview lasted an hour. After an initial panic all the course learning kicked in. I talked a lot about your course and majored on the experiential and self referential nature of it. No way could I have done it without your course – purely theoretical knowledge of CBT would not have got me through the case example question – it’s been a great course and I will continue to build on what I have learned.”
