An opportunity to learn the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the context of Mindfulness.
The course will be founded on experiential learning applying the model and skills first to ourselves, and then in our work with clients. This method of learning parallels the principle that ‘core level’ change requires changes in both rational and experiential systems.
This course will include the most recent directions and developments in CBT - including Mindfulness - which are being formulated in response to the need for greater effectiveness and change at a deeper, more lasting experiential level.
Lynda Thompson is a BACP accredited psychotherapist/counsellor with extensive experience of working in the NHS, voluntary and private sectors. She trained originally in Integrative Psychosynthesis, followed by trainings in Systemic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness and EMDR. She now trains counsellors in CBT and Mindfulness, and is a supervisor of groups and individual counsellors in Norwich. With a PhD in Critical and Creative Writing, and a book on life writing published in 2000, Lynda previously taught Literature at the University of East Anglia.
