This Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) course developed by Occupational Health and Wellbeing Services is designed to help you gain a better understanding of your worries and anxiety and focuses on bringing them within a healthy range. The course is a psychoeducational CBT group and is facilitated by qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapists.

You will learn how to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy worry and how to identify steps to break the cycle of worry and effectively manage your concerns. This course will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to overcome your anxieties and create a balanced and fulfilling lifestyle.  This will involve completing tasks between sessions each week to help you in putting the course's strategies into practise.
