This training is also a compulsory Module of our Advanced Diploma is Contemporary Psychotherapy – for those Psychotherapists working towards UKCP Registration with BeeLeaf.

In a highly experiential training, you will learn a tried and tested Contemporary model that unifies the main psychotherapeutic approaches, as diverse as Counselling, CBT, 12 Step and Motivational Interviewing, into the core conceptual and intervention commonalities that support recovery from substance addiction (drugs and alcohol) and process dependency, (such as sex and gambling).
