Trainees Resources

Training to become a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist or Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner can be stressful and draining.  I hope the resources on this page help a little.

Many training courses use the Cognitive Therapy Scale - Revised (CTS-R) in order to rate recordings of a trainee's therapy sessions.

 

 

Cognitive Therapy Scale - Revised (CTS-R)

Manual of the CTS-R

Cognitive Therapy Scale Feedback Form  (Word)

And don't forget some light relief....Cognitive Therapy Training Stress Disorder



These documents might be useful in helping you go somewaytowards meeting the minimum CTS-R criteria when trying to get a decent enough session recording for submission



Consider using the Problems pages to help guide your clients between your sessions, and the self help mp3 downloads to reinforce therapy or self help.


 

IAPT PWP Training

These documents most closely resemble the worksheets in the Reach Out Manual

Other free resources (client handouts, CBT tools, therapy worksheets, formulations etc) for therapists and clients on the Free Downloads pages.

A reminder not to be too hard on yourself:
