Vicious flower masterclass: Online Zoom Workshop | 9 September 2026

These workshops build on Parts 1 & 2 and aim to give participants an introduction to specific models and ways of working with some problems commonly encountered in clinical practice. The workshops will be skills based and give participants opportunities to practice techniques relevant to the specific problems.

This workshop will give participants a grounding in the fundamental skills of using CBT. The workshop incorporates a brief introduction to basic CBT theory, but the main aim is to teach participants the CBT skills of assessing clients and producing CBT formulations, or case conceptualisations, of their problems. The workshop is focused on practical clinical skills, and therefore the bulk of the work involves role-playing. The workshop leaders will role-play clients and workshop participants in small groups will follow through the different stages of assessment, finally producing a CBT formulation for the ‘client’.
