This 2-day introductory course will focus on how you can make use of CAT in your counselling practice. It will be a practical and interactive course, and we aim to reach parts of your practice that have not yet been reached before! No prior knowledge of CAT is required and we will cover tools, techniques and methods used in CAT, from a case-based perspective.  

CAT – or Cognitive Analytic Therapy - is an integrative form of therapy which was designed by Dr Tony Ryle (Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospitals, London) as an accessible therapeutic approach for all people. As human development is primarily relational, the CAT model describes how patterns of relating developed earlier in life come to be the source of problems now. Its unique ways of reformulating clients’ problems can be applied to all levels of disturbance, including personality-based problems, and in individual, couple and groupwork settings, whether in the NHS or in private practice. It is particularly suitable for complex cases or clients with co-morbidity. In CAT we share our understandings openly with the client and work collaboratively towards change. 

This course is suitable for any counselling practitioner – from novice to experienced therapist - with an interest in developing relational skills within a structured framework. By the end of the course you will be familiar with the model of CAT and the basic use of its concepts and tools in therapeutic practice.
