Program Overview
The Certificate Course in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a comprehensive, NEP 2020-aligned skill enhancement programme designed to build foundational and applied competencies in one of the most evidence-based psychotherapeutic approaches. The course provides a structured understanding of human functioning across cognitive, behavioural, and emotional domains, with a focus on identifying and addressing psychological distress.
Participants will engage with both classical CBT frameworks and contemporary “third wave” approaches, including mindfulness-based strategies, acceptance techniques, and emotion-focused interventions. The programme emphasizes a step-by-step therapeutic process, enabling learners to translate theory into practice through guided training and supervised learning experiences.
Delivered in an online weekend format, this course is ideal for students and working professionals seeking to enhance their clinical, counselling, and rehabilitation skills.
