PRACTICAL CBT Newsletter
by Professor Patrick McGhee, FRSA, BPS, BABCP
What's New this Week?
Welcome to the first newsletter of the year. We have special discount codes, news about new webinars and a news round up on what has been happening recently in the world of counseling and psychotherapy. As we move into Lockdown again there is little doubt that demand for counselling and psychotherapy will continue to grow. There appears to be a growing acceptance of online sessions perhaps as people become more used to Zoom and Skype generally. Since we can do very little outside, why not have a look at the world of mental health this week and sign up for some CPD?
Those of you who attended our Treating Perfectionism webinar this month got a chance to preview our unique Virtual Client System where you can interact with a simulated client through video. More of this exciting development below in the newsletter.
WEBSITE OF THE WEEK
This useful bookshelf of downloadable NHS guides for clients on a range of psychological issues is an invaluable free resource.
