This was an absolutely fantastic course. Really well constructed and has influenced me to practice more effectively. Many thanks. (CBT Essentials)

This (Trauma-Focused CBT, for all ages) was great! It was comprehensive, applicable, and intense. It captured just how challenging treating people with PTSD is, and highlighted the awesome responsibility we have as practitioners as we work with patients with PTSD. I will refer to this course often as I work with adults and children with PTSD. It is an invaluable resource.

CBT Essential is a great course. Very practical and easy to follow. I recommend the online anytime as you can do it in your own time and you can go back to any chapter you like.

“This course was very comprehensive. I liked the relaxed audio and the humanistic element to the audio as well - it really helped to contextualise some of the ideas and his voice was very soothing.”

Exemplary training and facilitator. This is one of the best supervision course I have attended. Thank you so much!

Such a great course, it was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly liked working through it at my own pace. It has helped me to feel more confident in my delivery of low level ACT.
Thank you.

Really easy to follow with many opportunities for reflection. Was easy to see how I could apply this to my own practice; the resources are extremely useful to aid with this. I am looking forward to the next one!

“I very much enjoyed this course. It was entertaining to listen too, very engaging but at the same time very informative. It has already made me rethink my approach and will definitely improve my patient care in the future.

“I enjoyed this course a lot, it was interesting and informative and easy to absorb. The resources are very useful too.”

Having completed the DICES training again after more than three years, it was a fantastic refresher that provided updated and relevant insights into risk assessment. The content was practical and engaging, and I can see great potential for implementing the DICES framework in my work setting. It’s given me new tools and a deeper understanding, which will certainly enhance my approach to managing risk and making informed decisions. Highly recommended for anyone in the field.

An excellent investment of 3 days training in Motivational interviewing and how to effectively apply.

A great combination of theory, practice and group discussion

“Easy to use, well delivered, addresses the user at their level, includes a range of applicable circumstances, guidelines are clear, resources are invaluable.”

“Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative. So well delivered. Worth every penny and hour invested.”

This is great as it sheds light on how to help support my clients better on a daily basis
Also going to improve my relationship with people

I attended a DBT skills course with APT. I found the tutor, Chloe Walker to be very kind and compassionate in her delivery and thought the information was incredible valuable to my line of work. I specifically work in learning disabilities, and Chloe specifically found DBT adapted resources for learning disabilities that could support our teams. I would highly recommend this course!

Really great training, good quality of contents and easy to keep up as it is not live, hence you can attend at your own pace. Not 5 stars because the voice of the presenter is a bit monotonous and made me feel a bit sleepy. Other than that, it's a training I would definitely recommend!

The course was so relevant to my role as a Peer Support Worker. I realised I was doing MI in my role without knowing it but it was so helpful to get some deeper understanding of the impact you can have with what seem simple, common sense questions and allowing space for people to talk.
Laura was engaging and I would recommend this course to everyone in my MDT.

Absolute belter of a course! Lynda was fantastic - a wealth of knowledge. Course filled with care, compassion and participants walk away with skill and knowledge of trauma and how to support those living with trauma.

Very useful, well presented and a timely update for me. Excellent as every experience with APT has been to date.

My journey with the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT) has been nothing short of transformative, encompassing a wide array of courses, including CFT, DBT, RAID, and CBT Levels 1 through 5, with plans to pursue SFT further to complete my Diploma in Psychological Therapy L4. This extensive training has enhanced my capabilities as a therapist and deeply enriched my approach to client care.

APT's training programmes are meticulously designed to cater to the evolving needs of practising therapists. Each course is structured to not only impart theoretical knowledge but also to provide practical tools that can be seamlessly integrated into daily practice. Whether it was my initial forays into Compassion-Focused Therapy, which I began while working as a Reiki healer a few years back before I became a PCT counsellor or the more complex realms of DBT and specialised CBT techniques, APT's courses have significantly broadened my therapeutic repertoire.

The versatility in training methods—from interactive Zoom sessions to rigorous self-study and real-time feedback—has equipped me with a diverse toolkit. I've adapted my approach to suit each client's unique needs, moving fluidly between modalities to provide tailored support. The expert guidance of instructors and the rich resource materials provided continue to be a backbone for my practice, enhancing my confidence and competence in delivering effective therapy.

Choosing APT for professional development has been one of the most empowering decisions of my career. I highly recommend APT to fellow practitioners and those aspiring to deepen their psychological therapy skills. The breadth and depth of their training will empower you and inspire you to excel in your therapeutic engagements.
