Training & workshops
Cognitive-behavioural therapy has been recommended in NICE and international guidelines for the management of mental health problems.
In addition to one-to-one therapy, I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) training and workshops designed for individuals and groups seeking to improve their understanding on mental health and wellbeing. Whether you are interested in learning practical techniques to manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation, or simply want to develop a better understanding of CBT principles, my workshops provide a supportive and interactive environment.
CBT is a powerful and evidence-based approach for managing a range of mental health challenges. By understanding how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected, we can learn to break unhealthy patterns and replace them with more constructive coping strategies. Through my workshops, you will gain valuable insights and tools that can be applied to your everyday life (or your work if you are supporting people with mental health needs), helping you to reduce stress, overcome self-criticism, and build resilience.
What You Can Expect from My CBT Workshops
My CBT training and workshops are suitable for a variety of audiences, including individuals looking for self-help tools, professionals in the mental health field seeking to expand their skillset or workplaces aiming to promote mental well-being among employees. Each workshop is designed to be engaging, interactive and practical, giving participants the knowledge and skills to manage mental health challenges effectively.
Here is what you can expect from my CBT workshops:
Understanding CBT Fundamentals: In each workshop, I provide a thorough introduction to the key principles of CBT, including how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours influence one another. We will explore how these patterns contribute to anxiety, stress, and negative self-talk and how they can be challenged.
Interactive Learning: My workshops are not about sitting back and listening. I encourage active participation through discussions, exercises and real-life examples. You will have the opportunity to practice CBT techniques during the sessions and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
Practical Tools for Mental Health: The primary focus of my training is to equip you with practical tools that can be applied to your daily life. Whether it is managing anxious thoughts, developing more balanced perspectives or coping with stressful situations, you will walk away with concrete strategies and tools you will be able to use right away.
Tailored Content: Every group is different and so are the challenges they face. That is why I take time to tailor each workshop to the specific needs of the audience. Whether the focus is on anxiety management, self-compassion, emotional regulation or resilience building, I ensure that the content is relevant and applicable to your situation.
Supportive Environment: My workshops are conducted in a safe and non-judgmental space, where participants can feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and experiences. There is no pressure to participate if you are not ready but many find that engaging in group discussions helps deepen their understanding of CBT techniques.
Types of CBT Workshops I Offer
I offer a range of workshops designed to meet different needs. Whether you are an individual seeking to improve your own mental health, a professional wanting to enhance your skills or an organisation looking to promote well-being in the workplace, there is a workshop for you.
Here are some examples of workshops I had designed and run for organisations:
- Anxiety Management Workshops: In this workshop, we focus on understanding and managing anxiety. Participants will learn how to identify anxiety triggers, challenge negative thinking patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Practical exercises such as relaxation techniques, mindfulness, and exposure therapy are often included.
- Workshops on Self-Compassion and Reducing Self-Criticism: Many people struggle with harsh self-criticism, which can contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. This workshop focuses on cultivating self-compassion and replacing self-critical thoughts with more supportive, balanced ones. Through CBT techniques, participants will learn how to reframe negative self-talk and develop a more compassionate inner dialogue.
- Stress Management and Resilience Building: Life is full of stressors, but how we respond to them can make all the difference. In this workshop, participants will learn how to identify stress triggers, manage their responses, and develop resilience. Techniques for emotional regulation, problem-solving, and relaxation will be emphasised.
- CBT Skills for Professionals: This workshop is ideal for professionals working in mental health, education or caregiving roles who want to expand their knowledge of CBT techniques. You will learn how to integrate CBT principles into your work, helping your clients or students manage their own mental health challenges more effectively.
