CBT and Cultural Supervision Training Programme
- Study Mode: Part Time
- Location: Distance Learning
- Duration: 3 Months
- Start Date: January 2027
Working within supervisory role in CBT is a different skillset to what a normal therapist may be familiar with. The CBT practice is developing cultural competence, yet it is not necessarily part of all CBT trainings in detail, hence providing culturally sensitive supervision might appear to anxiety provoking. This course aims to breakdown that skill barrier and give you the skills you need to effectively practice a culturally competent supervisory role.
Why study this subject?
This course will enable CBT therapists to develop supervisory skills and become a culturally competent supervisor.
