Can I share the materials with colleagues?
Course access is for individual use only. Materials are copyright-protected and should not be copied, shared, or distributed without permission.
How long does the course take to complete?
In total, the 12 modules are around 4 hours in length, but we wouldn't recommend that you watch them all in one go.
For the best experience, we would recommend that you watch 1 or 2 modules a week and use the time in between to reflect on what you have learnt and how it relates to your practice.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for professionals working in mental health, social care, education, or related fields who are interested in learning about the principles and methods of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). It’s also suitable for anyone curious about relational and integrative approaches to psychological work.
