Course Description

This 2-hour online training offers a practical, structured introduction to using 10 Minute CBT in everyday consultations. Whether you're new to CBT or an experienced clinician looking to strengthen your communication and consultation skills, this course provides a solid foundation.

Through short video lectures, role-play demonstrations, interactive questions and written summaries, you'll explore how to apply CBT principles in real time — even within the constraints of routine practice.

The course includes:

  • A clear overview of the evidence base for CBT in both mental and physical health conditions

  • What CBT is — and how the 10 Minute CBT approach differs from standard CBT

  • Key principles of CBT and how they link to thoughts, feelings and behaviour

  • A step-by-step introduction to the Cognitive Behavioural Model (CBM)

  • Useful questions for exploring problems collaboratively and promoting change

  • Core communication skills that support structure, engagement and empowerment

  • A full video case example: 10 Minute CBT for stress at work — showing how the model works in practice

This course forms the foundation for other 10 Minute CBT modules and is relevant for GPs, allied health professionals and any clinician wanting to incorporate evidence-based mental health strategies into time-limited consultations.
