ABOUT THE CBT for TINNITUS E-PROGRAMME (TEP)
- Audiologists
There is a super-short information pack for Audiologists giving more detail about what the CBT for Tinnitus E-Programme involves and how it can help your patients. The intro sections are previewable, and sign up for free to see the detail. After going through the pack, if you would like to see inside the course, you are welcome to book a 30 minute Zoom meeting where I can screen-share inside the course

There is a reason for everything used being not only what it is, but where it is in the process. Neuro-psychotherapy and associated neuroscience, with cognitive and behavioural therapy woven in to the process, stage by stage
