Catalyse can offer two-day introductory courses in cognitive analytic therapy. This level of training provides an introduction to CAT principles and approaches. These courses are open to anyone wanting to learn about CAT. However, they are particularly suited to people considering applying to train as a CAT Practitioner.
Applicants to our own two year Practitioner Training course are expected to have completed a two day introduction, or equivalent. So attending one of our introductory courses will provide an opportunity to meet and work directly with Catalyse trainers, experience their approach, and have a taster of the Training Films we developed to support learning about CAT.
Please note that attendance on an introductory course does not equip or qualify participants to practice cognitive analytic therapy.
The last introductory workshop ran in July 2024, led by our trainer Sarah Littlejohn.
“The training was really enjoyable and engaging, the training was readily translated to clinical practice. I came away from the training really enthused to work in a CAT informed way. The facilitator was very knowledgeable. The two days were a pleasure to attend. They were able to engage all – from those that were new to CAT and those with more clinical experience. Case examples were used throughout the training and this really helped to demonstrate the key features of CAT.”
“I really valued the whole 2 days. The exercises and activities gave the opportunity to immediately put the content into practice. I was able to clearly see how to apply the content in my therapeutic work. There were also some really nice, meaningful exercises that I will take forward …….. It felt like the whole group were really engaged and excited about using CAT.
