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." Karen J
"This is a wonderful course and detail yet precise step by step information. the visuals and point well presented" Anita E
