ABOUT TRAINING AT THE ABC COACHING ACADEMY

The ABC Coaching Academy offers both face-to-face training courses, and Distance Learning courses, based on Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Counselling and Therapy (REBT/ CBT/ TA/ Zen/ CENT) theory and principles. In particular, Dr Jim Byrne, the Principal of the ABC Coaching Academy, is a keen supporter of the core of system of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy developed by Dr Albert Ellis, in New York City, over the past few decades.

He has modified REBT to some extent, and combines it with TA and Zen philosophy, and other modern narrative therapies and philosophies, and understands the human mind in a psychodynamic/ narrative framework. Although he does not use the approaches of Carl Rogers very much, outside of the core conditions, and active listening, he acknowledges that the relationship between counsellor and client is hugely important, as argued by Klein, Fairbairn, Rogers and others. But active teaching by a warm teacher is Jim's modus operandum.

Jim lives his life primarily from the philosophical base of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, combined with Zen and Transactional Analysis; and an absolute commitment to living a moral life; and teaches this system to his clients in private practice, as well as trainees on his courses.

He can vouch for the efficacy of this form of cognitive-emotive-narrative therapy from his own life experience, and from the successful outcomes he achieves with his clients on a regular basis.

Jim Byrne has a Professional Doctorate in Counselling degree, from the University of Manchester (2008); a higher Diploma (With Distinction) in Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy, from Rusland College, Bath (2004); a Professional Certificate in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy, from the old Institute for REBT, Bristol (1999); and a Certificate in Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Theory and Technique from the Albert Ellis Institute (2005). His MA degree is in Education, with substantial elements of psychology. He is also a trained and experienced Further Education Teacher, and a Professional Trainer. He has been teaching REBT since 1994; and in private practice as a Coaching and Counselling Psychologist/ Philosopher and REBT therapist since December 1998. He was Deputy Chief Executive of a highly creative and innovative education and training organization before diversifying into coaching in 1994.
