Cognitive Behavioural Coaching

2 day workshop

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (aka: CBT) based coaching is heavily influenced by the work of Aaron Beck and Albert Ellis. It takes the view that how we react to events is determined by how we think about them. So, by examining and re-evaluating our belief systems and thought patterns we can develop more effective behaviours. A CBT approach offers a time limited, goal directed, here and now approach aimed at helping individuals develop action plans for change.

Learn to identify negative or irrational thought patterns which lead to ineffective behaviour and hinder performance
Apply models of structured problem solving which allow individuals to draw on their own problem solving capability
Sharpen your skills in identifying irrational or unrealistic belief systems which are self limiting
Learn how to ‘unstick’ your client through a reframe of self defeating behaviour
Learn new ways of ways of working with the relationship between thoughts and emotions leading to behaviour change
