CBT Certificate online free. While it may be challenging to find a completely free online CBT certification programme, there are some platforms that offer free, or low-cost courses. These courses also award certificates of completion. Additionally, such certificates can demonstrate your knowledge and commitment to learning CBT techniques.

One new approach worth considering is TactileCBT. But what is it exactly? Well, it’s a proven, unique and interactive psychological technique that can rapidly effect change in people’s lives. TactileCBT, also known as PBT, is a modified version of CBT. Although it draws heavily on CBT structure and strategy, it also deviates significantly from the traditional CBT approach. It originated in the clinical work of Martin and Marion Shirran at their Elite Clinic in Spain. The approach is not only versatile and easy to use, but it also produces fast and effective results.

It is the experiential quality of TactileCBT that sets it apart from other approaches, and also makes it so effective. Consequently, for the client, the experience is emotional, connected and meaningful; it enhances motivation and commitment to therapy. In their minds, a myriad of processes are occurring, and their thoughts are triggering emotional and physical responses. This in turn is deepening their mental processing, and forging a set of newly interlinked neural connections.

Then these connections link memories of old events,of past decisions and outcomes, good and bad, with the newly formed memories of future events, positive and negative, that have yet to come about. So, when the client reflects on their problem behaviour, a series of interlinked thoughts and feelings will come flooding back. As a result, it instantly reconnects them with their past, present and future. You can read additional information about this exciting new therapy on the many pages of this website.

Here are a few options of other free or low cost training modules:

  1. Udemy: Udemy offers a wide range of CBT courses, some of which provide certificates upon completion. While these certificates may not be formal certifications, they can still showcase your understanding of CBT principles and techniques. Udemy often has discounts and promotions, so you may be able to find courses at reduced prices, or even for free.
  2. Alison: Alison offers a free online course called “Diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” that provides a certificate upon completion. The course covers the basics of CBT and can be a good starting point for learning about the approach.
  3. OpenLearn: OpenLearn, provided by The Open University, offers various free online courses related to mental health and psychology. While they may not provide formal certifications, you can earn a statement of participation or completion. Consequently, this can still be valuable for showcasing your knowledge.
  4. FreeCBTisHere: FreeCBTisHere is a website that offers free CBT resources, including online courses and worksheets. While they do not provide formal certifications, their courses can help you learn CBT techniques and strategies.

And finally, remember that these certificates of completion or participation are not formal certifications. Therefore, they may not hold the same weight as a recognised professional certification. So, if you are looking for a formal certification in CBT, you may need to pursue a paid programme, or certification. However, you can easily find such courses at a reputable organisation, or educational institution.

The PBT book is an effective ‘Self Help’ tool for those who wish to introduce change into their lives.

  • How Pause Button Therapy/TactileCBT can change your life.
  • The alternative choices and actions you have.

PBT Wristbands and CardsPBT wristbands and cards
PBT Wristbands and Cards

The PBT cards are of ‘credit card’ size and quality. Each one has a slot cut out, so you easily fit it on to your key ring. Or alternatively, you can keep it in your credit card wallet. The PBT embossed silicone wristbands are available in two sizes, small and large, and are in the pack with the PBT card.

As stated in the PBT book, we have found that clients generally benefit from the tactile use of the cards and wristbands. However, many therapists globally have informed us that the use of any, locally purchased wrist bands, can deliver a similar result. The price of a pack of two cards, and two wristbands (one large and one small) is just £8.95 inclusive of postage and packing, within Europe. The cost inclusive of postage and packaging for international clients is £12.95. Clients are also encouraged to consider buying the Client Work Book; details are above. Therapists, or organisations, requiring multiple cards and wristbands, can contact us for pricing variations.
