The training is rigorous and aims to equip individuals to be able to deliver high quality and effective Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) based self-management interventions to clients with common mental health problems.

Once qualified as a PWP, it is a requirement for the role to register with BPS or BABCP within 6 months of receipt of certificate of qualification.
