Low Self Esteem is an often commonly diagnosed problem but one that’s frequently misunderstood. Consisting of two constructs – low self-worth AND low self-efficacy- it frequently overlaps with poor self confidence but is separate. Because of the commonly confusion it is often treated in the wrong way. Drawing on Mruk’s work on self-esteem, this Module outlines the necessary strategies for addressing this dependent on an appropriate assessment- whether for ourselves or our clients An appropriate “mix” of cognitive techniques (for both self-assessment and addressing poor self-worth) and confidence building behavioural activities are outlined. Case illustration is used throughout.

These common problems frequently create distress and substantially interfere with functioning for sufferers even though they are not diagnostic problems typically leading to referral to mental health services.

Integrated CBT is an evidence-based approach to tackling problems that addresses process as well as content issues in therapy. It includes 2nd and 3rd wave CBT ideas as well as evidence based “tips” from other therapeutic approaches, such as MI, SFT, REBT and others, specifically to address process issues such as motivation and communication difficulties.

We've decided to combine the power of integrated CBT with deeper understanding of non-diagnostic life challenges and this resulted in creation of this Certificate Course.

This Certificate is a series of bite-sized trainings (with the exception of the 2-day detailed training on procrastination) that will guide delegates through cohesive evidence based treatment plans or self-help programmes.
