BCTC is a registered Northern Ireland charity established in 1996 to:

Help develop standards of Training in Northern Ireland. Astonishingly, when

BCTC was founded in 1996, there was not one professionally accredited counsellor-training course available.

Currently in N.I only the BCTC diploma is professionally accredited.

Help develop standards of counselling in N. Ireland,
especially for people who live in disadvantaged areas.

 

Cognitive Therapy: BCTC uses a type of therapy known as Cognitive Therapy.
CT is empirically demonstrated to be successful in work with stress, panic,
depression, phobias, trauma and other client disorders.

CT is now recommended by The Department of Health.

Belfast CT Centre provides a range of services to corporations to facilitate in-house counsellors. A three year degree course designed to facilitate a range of organisations. Based in our Malone Road offices, training seminars can be conducted on a part-time / full-time basis which leads to full IPSOS accreditation.

The BCTC Diploma in Cognitive Therapy is accredited by The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). It is a two or three-year, part time course, one day in Year 1 and two days in Year 2. In the 3rd year (to which entry is not automatic) trainees attend one day per month.
