HOLISTIC CBT BOOK
This book describes how HCBT grew from clients bringing aspects of their lives such as their spiritual beliefs, socio-economic and cultural context into CBT sessions, factors sometimes missed in standard CBT. Holistic CBT is explained as a new strengths-based and creative model, exploring people’s identity and potential within their individual context, and recognising a body-mind-spirit link. It is a transdiagnostic approach to therapy and personal development.

FREE TO BE ME MANUAL
'Free to be Me' is a course manual providing the guidance and resources needed to run a course with individuals or groups based on HCBT. Building on the standard CBT model, it can easily be used by those familiar with CBT. Its person-centred approach means that it can be used as part of the therapy offered in any mental health and related setting, and as a personal development course in faith and community groups.
