About Living Life to the Full
Living Life to the Full is a fun and engaging eight-week course that provides people from all walks of life with effective tools to maximize their ability to manage life’s challenges. The group-oriented course is based on the principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on understanding how thoughts, feelings and behaviours work together to impact well-being.
The Living Life to the Full course is based on the five areas CBT model developed by Dr. Chris Williams, an expert and trainer in CBT and professor of psychosocial psychiatry at the University of Glasgow.
