Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Advanced Diploma

Mindfulness is a philosophy and state of mind derived from Buddhist faith, but applicable to both multi-faith and non-faith therapy work.

It is being used extensively in private and state provided therapy services as an appropriate way of addressing emotional issues and assisting in the management of long term conditions.

This course provides personal reflection and professional techniques using mindfulness, and relates them closely to the National Occupational Standards for Healing. Further core knowledge lessons provide a sound training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, including discussion of the revised Counselling National Occupational Standards. Together mindfulness and CBT have been brought together to form: Mindfulness based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCBT).

MBCBT is a modern and increasingly popular combined therapy approach which combines well evidenced results, with a deeper philosophical model.

This course is recognised for professional membership of the Society for Holistic Therapists and Coaches.
