This course is suitable for anyone struggling with social anxiety themselves, or counsellors and psychotherapists looking to apply CBT to social anxiety with their clients. We'll explore CBT in detail before looking at what a step-by-step programme looks like.

• And lots more!

In addition to the video lectures and examples, you will receive a complete set of workbooks to use for each step of the process. Therefore, whether you are working through personal issues or helping a client work through their social anxiety, you will have all the tools you need to get started.

Reviews

"Chris did a great job summing up CBT. I will be happy to suggest this to my clients. It's a great resource for reviewing the main components." C R

"This was an excellent course. Chris gets to the point and provides all of the salient information you need to know without padding with unnecessary information or narration. He provides a synopsis of CBT, its applicability to specific situations, and how it can be put into practice while counselling others. Chris used realistic and relevant examples throughout and his visual aids are simple and clear. I highly recommend this course if you are a beginner with CBT or if you have some familiarity with it."
