North London CAT Practitioner Training/

The course is run by the Psychological Therapies Service Haringey at Halliwick St Ann’s Hospital, BEH-MHT, and accredited by
The Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT)
and Sheffield Hallam University (SHU)

Applications for this course have now closed.

CAT Practitioner Training

CAT Practitioner Training is a two-year course leading to ACAT and SHU Accreditation. Following accreditation you become eligible for full membership of the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) and may practice CAT within your core profession. Course graduates are eligible to apply to do a further two years’ Psychotherapy Training in CAT, leading to UKCP registration. There is also the option of an MSc in CAT directly with SHU on completion of the training.

Course Aim & Structure

The course aims to provide a training in the theory and clinical application of Cognitive Analytic Therapy. This enables professionals with established competence in their own field to enhance their understanding and skills in psychotherapy using the CAT model. The taught component of the course is spread over two years and consists of training days, seminar groups, supervised clinical work and a personal therapy experience of a 16 session CAT.

Applicants are asked to submit a completed application form (requests to Course Director, details below) and a current CV (two referees are required).
