About us
We want to offer teaching of the highest quality. Our aim is to give students the tools, skills and knowledge needed to meet the challenges of the global mental health crisis.
Our Step 1 training has been authorised by the Swedish Association for CBT (sfKBT) since 2021. Our other courses follow the same quality principles but are not covered by that authorisation.
Our lecturers and supervisors are all practising clinicians in the field, so the knowledge you gain is grounded in real clinical practice.
We tailor individual courses and study plans to your needs, and usually reply within 1–3 business days.

See all our coursesCBT is a psychotherapeutic method focused on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. At its core is the idea that our thoughts about a situation influence how we feel and act. By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, a person can learn to change their reactions and behaviours, which leads to improved emotional wellbeing.
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented and time-limited form of therapy in which patient and therapist collaborate to set specific goals and develop strategies to reach them. Common techniques include cognitive restructuring (identifying and challenging irrational thoughts), behavioural experiments (testing beliefs through behavioural tasks), relaxation training and problem solving.
CBT has been shown to be effective in treating a broad range of mental health problems, including but not limited to depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders and substance misuse.
