CBT Skills Toolkit

A session-ready toolkit of video courses, playbooks, scripts, templates, and quick “stuck moment” videos so you know what to do next with common presentations like worry, low mood, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD patterns, and trauma symptoms.

Practical tools, not accreditation

Instant Access Practical tools, not accreditation

Built by Accredited and Registered Practitioners.

If you’re an integrative counsellor, you’ve probably felt this…

  1. Sessions drift into “talking about it”… and you leave thinking “I should’ve been more structured.”
  2. Clients agree to homework… then don’t do it… and you’re not sure how to troubleshoot without sounding pushy.
  3. You know CBT concepts, but translating them into clear session steps feels messy.
  4. You get pulled into reassurance, rumination, or avoidance—then the same issues show up next week.
  5. You want to integrate CBT, but you don’t want to become rigid, robotic, or “pure CBT.”

You don’t need more theory.

You need a repeatable session system you can plug into your existing style.

You don’t need more theory. You need a repeatable session system you can plug into your existing style.

Make it happen

Introducing: The CBT Session Confidence Kit

A practical “what to do next” system for integrative private practice counsellors

This is a structured toolkit designed to help you run cleaner sessions with CBT structure without losing warmth, flexibility, or your relational style.


It gives you:

  • a clear session flow (agenda → formulation link → intervention → homework → feedback)
  • disorder-specific “maps” so you don’t guess
  • scripts for the moments you freeze
  • troubleshooting for stuck sessions
  • deeper training modules when you want them


The mechanism: The CBT Session Structure Stack

Most training teaches “what CBT is.” This gives you how to run it.

  1. Start Here Pack – the exact order to use the kit so you don’t get overwhelmed
  2. Session Templates Pack – agenda, goals→targets, formulation→plan, homework, tracking, relapse plan
  3. 1-page Playbooks – OCD / GAD / Depression / Health Anxiety / Social Anxiety / PTSD
  4. Scripts Pack – what to say when clients avoid, seek reassurance, or you feel stuck
  5. Stuck Moments Library (54 short videos) – quick support for common derailments
  6. Deep Dives – structured CBT teaching modules for when you want depth

Counselling Foundations refresher (optional) for first sessions, difficult clients, mental blanks, intense emotion


What you’ll be able to do differently (fast)

After using this kit, you’ll be able to:

  1. Walk into sessions with a plan in 15 minutes (even when you’re busy)
  2. Keep sessions structured without feeling rigid
  3. Translate formulation into a clear, step-by-step intervention plan
  4. Set homework clients actually follow through on (and troubleshoot when they don’t)
  5. Reduce reassurance and safety behaviours without power struggles
  6. Choose the next best intervention for common presentations
  7. Handle “I don’t know,” silence, avoidance, and resistance with calm scripts

Is this for you?

This is for you if you’re:

  1. An integrative counsellor in private practice who wants CBT structure
  2. Seeing clients now and want clearer sessions (agenda, homework, formulation → plan)
  3. Working with common presentations like worry (GAD), low mood, social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD traits, trauma symptoms
  4. Wanting practical tools you can apply immediately (not academic theory)

This is NOT for you if you:

  1. Need BABCP accreditation/certification hours or a formal qualification pathway
  2. Want an advanced supervision-level CBT training
  3. Are looking for client-facing self-help therapy in place of professional support

You don’t complete this kit.

You use it.

You don’t complete this kit. You use it.

How to use it (so it doesn’t become “another course”)

Pick one client theme each week:

  1. open the relevant playbook map
  2. use the session roadmap + agenda template
  3. run one intervention
  4. set one small homework step
  5. if you get stuck, use one “stuck moment” clip
  6. go deeper only if needed


What people are saying

Artboard 1

I’m new to couples therapy and each of these excellently written short essays gave me such wonderful insight into different kinds of interventions and their implementation in therapy. One of the best courses I’ve taken on the subject.

FAQs

  • No. The whole point is to give you structure you can plug into your style, not turn you into a protocol robot. You’ll use CBT where it helps most: agenda, formulation-to-action, behavioural change, experiments, exposure, and homework—while keeping your relational approach intact.

  • No. That’s why the kit starts with Start Here + 15-minute pre-session checklist + 1-page playbooks.

    Most people start using it the same week by:

    1. choosing one playbook (e.g., GAD)
    2. using the agenda + formulation-to-plan sheet
    3. setting one practical homework step
    4. The deep-dive courses are there when you want them—not as a barrier to using the toolkit.


  • Most CBT courses teach knowledge. This kit is built for session execution:

    • 1-page maps that tell you what to do next
    • scripts for hard moments (reassurance, avoidance, silence, resistance)
    • templates that make sessions consistent (agenda → intervention → homework → feedback)
    • a “Stuck Moments” video library for when sessions derail
    • It’s designed like a clinical toolkit, not a syllabus.


  • Most CBT courses teach knowledge. This kit is built for session execution:

    • templates that make sessions consistent (agenda → intervention → homework → feedback)
    • a “Stuck Moments” video library for when sessions derail
    • It’s designed like a clinical toolkit, not a syllabus.


  • It’s built around the most common patterns that show up repeatedly in private practice:

    • GAD/worry
    • depression/withdrawal
    • health anxiety/checking
    • social anxiety/self-focus
    • OCD patterns/ERP
    • PTSD symptoms/avoidance + meaning
    • And the templates work across all presentations because they support the fundamentals:
    • structure, homework, formulation, measurement, and relapse prevention.


  • That’s exactly why the kit is organised into a system:

    • Start Here Pack tells you what to do first
    • All Playbooks Index helps you jump to exactly what you need
    • You work one playbook at a time, not everything
    • If you can use one template + one playbook this week, you’re doing it right.


  • Yes. You get disorder-specific Therapist Scripts Sheets for moments like:

    • “but what if…”
    • reassurance seeking (“can you just tell me I’m okay?”)
    • refusal of exposure/homework
    • silence / “I don’t know”
    • shame spikes and self-criticism
    • They’re written to be natural and adaptable, not robotic.


  • This kit is built around that reality. You get:

    • a Homework Setting Template that makes homework smaller and more doable
    • barrier-proof planning (if–then plans, confidence scaling)
    • “stuck moment” support for non-adherence and avoidance
    • So instead of getting stuck in frustration, you turn it into useful clinical data and adjust.


  • No. This is not an accreditation route and doesn’t claim to provide certification hours.

    It’s a practical toolkit to help you deliver more structured CBT-informed work ethically within your scope.

  • No. This is designed for clinicians/trainees to use in practice. You can share specific client handouts (like the CBT rationale page) when appropriate, but the kit itself is not sold as a substitute for therapy.

  • Worksheets online don’t give you:

    • a decision system (what to do next)
    • scripts for the hard moments
    • a structured session workflow
    • playbooks mapped to disorder presentations
    • troubleshooting when it goes off track
    • This is the difference between random resources and a repeatable clinical system.


  • Immediately after purchase. You’ll be able to open:

    • Start Here
    • a playbook
    • templates
    • …and use them with your next suitable client.


  • Then it’s not for you. This is best for integrative counsellors who want CBT structure without doing a full diploma right now. But you wouldn't know unless you tried. We offer a free 14-day trial so you can test it first and decide.

  • We understand that questions and challenges are a natural part of the learning process.
