What is this Event about?

This event celebrates the launch of The Ultimate CBT Year Planner 2024

Join us for this 30-minute launch event where you will be able to hear about this unique resource and how it can help you from the author, Professor Patrick McGhee. 

What does the Planner contain? 

This Planner is designed to help you plan your year, review each month, and keep track of your CBT activity in general. It contains templates, checklists, and ideas to help you manage your work and your development.

The 2024 Planner provides a calendar to map out key dates, leave breaks and special occasions. The section 2024 Month by Month provides sheets to plan events in more detail for example booking client sessions, supervisions or CPD training events. The Monthly Plan sheets can be used to identify your goals in advance for each month around clinical, personal, and professional development. The Monthly Review sheets can be used to track what you achieve each month.

This Planner comes with a wide range of Checklists to support your work as a CBT Therapist. These are designed as reminders rather than comprehensive lists of everything relevant. The section on CBT Core Checklists contains key items for general use in your work. These include Client Session Write Up, Safety Plans, Clinical Wills and Neurodiversity Session Review.

As the name suggests, Supervision – Tips, Checklists and Logs provides support for your supervision work and includes 10 Do’s and Don’ts of Supervision, Supervision Preparation Checklist (for Supervisees and Supervisors) and some Logbook
Sheets. Clinical Resources provides Scales (GAD7 and PHQ9), Key Steps for GAD and Depression treatment, and a CBT Timeline to help your session delivery. Again, these complement your protocols, resources and expertise and are not a replacement for them.

The section on Professional Development provides suggestions on the best books and online resources for CBT. This section also includes 10 Tips for New CBT Therapists and a Checklist and Plan Template for a great office or workspace. The Personal Development section provides checklists and templates for you to plan important aspects of growth. This includes checklists and templates for My Morning Routine and for My Bedtime Routine. Finally it includes a checklist on being a Self-Compassionate Therapist.
