MCTI®-registered therapists
Metacognitive therapy is often and incorrectly characterized as an easy method of therapy. While the treatment is fast and practical, it takes years of supervised training to become a competent metacognitive therapist. In fact, incorrect application could even increase one's symptoms.
The Metacognitive Institute (MCTI®) was started by the founder of Metacognitive Therapy, Dr. Adrian Wells. It sets the standards for practice, research, and provides professional training. Each year a limited number of healthcare professionals are selected to undergo rigorous training over the course of several years, where they learn the fundamentals of metacognitive therapy.
Ask your therapist if they are registered as a Level 1 or Level 2 therapist at The Metacognitive Institute®. This confirms that they have completed the training and have successfully demonstrated their skill as a metacognitive therapist in practice — it's not just a formal credential; it's a testament to a therapist's expertise and commitment to providing the highest quality of care in metacognitive therapy. This registration is a seal of approval that the therapist has the requisite knowledge and skills to practice metacognitive therapy effectively.
