Course trainer

Paul Blenkiron is a consultant psychiatrist with a special interest in CBT. Based at Bootham Park Hospital in York, he is an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies and a CBT course facilitator at York University. Paul has 15 years’ clinical experience of integrating CBT into everyday practice and has led a number of national workshops in this area. He advised NICE on their guidelines for depression and common mental health disorders and wrote the updated College patient information leaflets on CBT, Anxiety and OCD. He is also the author of the innovative ‘how to do it’ book Stories and Analogies in CBT (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010).

 

Managing Anxiety

Anxiety affects one in six individuals, and is very commonly found alongside other mental and physical disorders. In daily practice, anxiety is frequently under-recognised and under-treated. For problems such as generalised anxiety, panic disorder and phobias, NICE recommends cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) as the most effective intervention in both primary and secondary care settings. This workshop teaches you how to help patients modify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that are inadvertently maintaining their anxiety. It will also help you to decide when to refer patients for joint or further working by other professionals within or outside of your own clinical team.
