A Beginner’s Guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a fascinating psychology-based personal development discipline that offers thought-provoking insights into the relationship between emotions, habits, perceptions, attitudes and behaviours of the human mind.

Cognitive psychology is the study of how we perceive and interpret information from the world around us, combine that information with prior experience and decide how to react to a changing environment. As well as introducing you to the study of the human mind, this course will also give you a sense of the central role cognition plays in our everyday lives.

This Beginner’s Guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a foundational training that’s firmly rooted in time established cognitive psychology.
