David Kato, a clinical hypnotherapist / psycho-analyst and behavioural therapist, has utilized CBT in his depression clinic since 1994 with good outcomes. David has produced a comprehensive two day cognitive behaviour therapy diploma course, for qualified hypnotherapists.

The mornings will be applied to gaining theoretical knowledge, including assessment, planning action, intervention and evaluation skills. The afternoons will be workshops, harnessing what you learn. This will involve minor to major mental health problem scenarios including, anxiety states, panic disorder, OCD, depression, insomnia, eating disorders, IBS, stress, reducing weight, to name a few. Tell me what problem patients you have, which could turn out to be a scenario.

A plan of action is required for an individual client, therefore writing scripts for the hypnotherapy sessions, and providing homework sheets, is an important aspect. Scenarios also help to obtain an understanding of how CBT can be applied efficiently and effectively, so you can create good patient outcomes.

You will also obtain 20 CPD’s / CEU's and acquire an attendance certificate.
