Behaviour Therapist

Behaviour Therapists are qualified health professionals who help people make meaningful and positive changes in their behaviour. They have a deep understanding of human behaviour and a working knowledge of different psychotherapies and treatment approaches.

As a Behaviour Therapist you could be observing the behaviour of a young child as part of an initial assessment, developing a treatment strategy for a teenage client with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), applying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to assist an adult client with anger issues, using hypnotherapy to help a client stop smoking, reviewing data on a client’s progress, or writing up some notes after a client therapy session.
