Anxiety is one of the most common presentations in clinical practice, affecting clients across age groups and diagnostic categories. This engaging and practical CPD session offers a focused overview of how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) conceptualises and treats anxiety, providing evidence-based tools that can be integrated into daily therapeutic work.
Presented by CBT therapist and trainer Cindy Strydom, this course explores foundational CBT concepts and how they apply specifically to anxiety-related difficulties. Participants will learn how to identify maladaptive cognitive patterns, support behavioural change, and use structured interventions to help clients regain a sense of agency and calm.
