Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) stands at the forefront of contemporary psychotherapy, offering a versatile and evidence-based approach to addressing a myriad of emotional and physical health conditions. As a widely recognised form of “talking therapy,” CBT has garnered immense popularity for its effectiveness in aiding individuals of all ages, from children to adults, in managing psychological distress and improving overall well-being.
At its core, CBT operates on the principle that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected. By examining and restructuring negative thought patterns and maladaptive behaviours, individuals can experience profound shifts in their emotional experiences and overall functioning. Through collaborative efforts between therapists and clients, CBT empowers individuals to challenge distorted cognitions and adopt healthier coping strategies, leading to tangible improvements in mental health outcomes.
The efficacy of CBT in treating common mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety is well-documented, supported by a robust body of empirical research. Its widespread adoption within healthcare settings, including the National Health Service (NHS) and Social Services in the UK, underscores its status as a gold standard intervention for addressing a diverse range of psycho-social and behavioural issues.
This comprehensive Level 3 course in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers a valuable opportunity for healthcare professionals and individuals with a keen interest in mental health to deepen their understanding and proficiency in CBT techniques. Accredited by ACCPH, successful completion of this course opens doors to professional membership, enhancing credibility and providing a pathway for career advancement in the field of psychotherapy. Whether you’re already working in healthcare or seeking to expand your skill set, this course equips you with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others.
Course Key Topics
the Cognitive Behavioural (Level 3) course is divided into 10 modules.
Module 1: Introduction to the CBT approach
The first module provides background and historical information relevant to CBT, tracking its emergence and development over time. It examines how CBT is contextualised in the mental health and other therapeutic professional environments. It also looks at the importance of the therapeutic relationship and how this is relevant to the delivery of positive experience within wide ranging therapy programmes.
Module 2: CBT skills
This module identifies and examines core and specialist skills needed to deliver CBT effectively. Students will gain understanding of essential skills and their application. The module also addresses the different phases of exploration of clients’ problems. Appropriate questioning techniques that facilitate helpful client interaction are described. The module also identifies the creation and maintenance of the working bond between therapists and clients.
Module 3: Assessment
This module discusses important features of client assessment. Students are shown essential concepts within case formulation, standardisation criteria, and elements of aims and goals. The evaluation of assessment outcomes is also examined in depth. The module emphasises the importance of presenting relevant information in a logical way, with clear examples and case studies to demonstrate the process.
Module 4: Depression and CBT
This module investigates how CBT can be used in the treatment of depression. It refers to the central nervous system, and describes the different types of depression that exist. It includes case studies and related programmes that help students to understand how the assessment process relates to the specific therapy.
Module 5: Psychological problems and CBT
This module examines several common psychological disorders and how the therapist can apply CBT in practical terms to their treatment. Conventional treatment options are also discussed. Case studies and related specific CBT programmes demonstrate appropriate skills for use with these individuals.
Module 6: Anxiety problems and CBT
This module highlights a range of different anxiety states, focusing on biological, physical and environmental causes and associated symptoms and behaviours that may accompany these states. The module applies the principles of CBT skills in order to facilitate positive change.
Module 7: Personality disorders and CBT
The module explores various commonly known personality disorders, and focuses on associated maladaptive behaviours and how these are created and maintained. Students gain understanding of how CBT can bring positive changes and the techniques that are involved.
Module 8: Strange thoughts and beliefs and CBT
CBT can be helpful in addressing problems with irrational thoughts and beliefs by facilitating change in both behaviour and thought patterns. This module will explore these changes through discussion of case studies and approaches within the CBT setting. Students gain insight into the construction of thoughts and how information is processed. Skinner’s model – relating to irrational thoughts – is outlined.
Module 9: Anger management and CBT
In this module, students learn about different types of anger, and how past experiences can influence and maintain the anger cycle. Within anger management, violent behaviour is included, and this module looks at how behaviour can be managed through CBT in relation to social awareness and events or thoughts that trigger anger and violence.
Module 10: Unusual settings
This module examines forensic CBT, and settings such as the criminal justice environment, the National Health Service (NHS), community therapy and other more unusual settings for CBT. There are clear examples and discussion of a range of cases to demonstrate effectiveness and skills.

Career Profile - Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner
Career Profile
Psychological wellbeing practitioners assess and support adults who are experiencing common mental health difficulties such as mild to moderate symptoms of depression, anxiety and low mood
As a psychological wellbeing practitioner (PWP), you’ll offer a range of low-intensity, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based interventions that will help your patients to manage their own recovery.
You’ll work with a large number of people in a practical way, with each client session lasting 20 to 30 minutes on average. A fully-qualified PWP can expect to help more than 250 patients every year.
Managing referrals and signposting to other agencies are common parts of the role and you’ll need to work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as high-intensity therapists, employment advisers, other therapists and support staff.
Responsibilities
As a PWP, you’ll need to:
* undertake patient-centred interviews to identify areas where they wish to see change
* make accurate assessments of the risk patients pose to themselves and others
* make decisions on the suitability of new referrals, referring clients to alternative services or ‘stepping up’ their treatment to high-intensity psychological therapy if necessary
* devise a shared treatment plan with your patient that’s delivered via a range of methods such as face-to-face, online or over the telephone
* provide low-intensity interventions, such as psycho-educational interventions, guided self-help and computerised CBT
* attend multidisciplinary meetings about referrals or clients in treatment
* develop strong professional relationships with primary and secondary care staff, such as general practice staff and mental health workers
* liaise with external agencies including housing, police, local authority, employers and employment support workers
* provide and receive information related to mental health and CBT to individuals or groups of clients, relatives, carers, members of the public and professionals
* educate and involve family members and others in your patient’s treatment as necessary
* undertake clinical supervision on a regular basis in line with relevant professional guidelines and policies
* keep accurate records of clinical activity and use these in clinical decision making.
Salary
* Trainee PWPs start at £23,949 (Band 4) of the NHS Agenda for change (AfC) pay rates.
* After qualification, salaries within the NHS progress to Band 5. You’re likely to start on £27,055 and progress up one pay point annually until you reach £32,934 (the top of the scale).
* Senior PWPs can earn salaries at Bands 6, 7 and 8a for undertaking additional management and leadership responsibilities or a clinical specialism. Salaries at this level can range from £33,706 (bottom of Band 6) to £54,619 (top of Band 8a).
The NHS pays a London high-cost area supplement at 20% of basic salary for inner London, 15% for outer London and 5% for fringe areas.
Salaries in the voluntary and independent sector may vary.
Figures are intended as a guide only.
Working Hours
You can expect to work a standard 37.5 hours per week. There are some opportunities for part-time work.
What to expect
* The work can be challenging as you’ll be working with distressed people with high emotional demands. Occasionally, you may encounter situations of potential personal risk, making supervision by colleagues important.
* Jobs are available throughout the UK, but more varied opportunities may be available in cities.
* You’ll work for an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service, which is typically a GP practice, specialist mental health trust, charity or private sector provider. You’ll typically work with patients on a one-to-one basis, in groups or/and provide support for a computerised CBT programme.
* Older people, men and people from black and minority ethnic backgrounds are currently underrepresented in the profession. Health Education England are looking at ways to increase awareness of the role and encourage entry to the profession.
* Local travel between sites is common in some PWP roles. Absence from home overnight is unusual. Overseas work or travel is uncommon.
Skills
You’ll need to have:
* the skills to develop good therapeutic relationships with clients
* teamworking skills and an aptitude for fostering good working relationships
* an interest in using clinical supervision and personal development positively and effectively
* the capacity to work under pressure
* the ability to be self-reflective
* regard for others and respect for individual rights of autonomy and confidentiality
* skills in communicating clearly and persuasively, both verbally and in writing
* the ability to liaise and network with a range of organisations and members of the public
* basic IT skills, including word processing and database packages
* a high level of enthusiasm and self-motivation
* good time management and organisational skills relating to the overall number of client contacts offered and clinical sessions carried out per week
* how to apply your knowledge of low-intensity therapeutic interventions to clinical problems.
As training often involves local travel, having a full driving licence and access to a car is important.
Career prospects
This is a relatively new job role and options for career development as a PWP were initially limited. However, the role is evolving and there are now increasing opportunities for career progression into senior, management and lead roles.
Career prospects are generally good and there is a clear progression route in place within the NHS. In order to advance through the pay bands you need to show that you have the required skills, experience and knowledge.
With experience you can apply for senior and lead PWP roles by undertaking additional duties, involving:
* supervision
* management
* service promotion and leadership
* training
* specialism
* clinical adviser
* education and research.
Options to specialise include working in areas such as perinatal mental health or with particular groups of patients, such as older adults, people with long-term health conditions such as diabetes or black and ethnic minority communities.
Other options for career development include working in occupational health services, prisons or delivering interventions in universities and colleges.
Some qualified PWPs go on to train in psychological therapies, for example high intensity CBT, counselling or alternative areas such as clinical psychology. PWPs are eligible to apply for high intensity therapy training after two years of continuous employment as a PWP.

This qualification has been developed by Open Learning College to meet the specific needs of our learners and has been accredited by QLS demonstrating the learning activity has reached the required Quality Licence Scheme standards and benchmarks.
The Quality Licence Scheme recognises a provider’s commitment to high-quality courses in the non-regulated sector, by evaluating quality processes and endorsing an organisation.

Grading & How it Works
The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.
This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.
Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.
We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
