Course Description
Working with suicidal ideation requires more than completing a risk assessment or drafting a safety plan. It requires a structured and targeted intervention approach.
This professional development training teaches a practical, session-by-session treatment framework based on the work of Dr Aaron T. Beck. The focus is on implementing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Suicidal Ideation as a distinct protocol, rather than relying on standard CBT strategies alone.
You will learn how to assess and stratify risk, determine when this structured approach is indicated, and implement a clear 10-session treatment plan designed to reduce suicidal ideation and strengthen protective factors. Drawing on advanced training at the Beck Institute in Philadelphia, this course provides a structured, clinically grounded method for managing suicidal ideation with greater confidence and clarity.
Learning Objectives
By completing this CPD training, you will be able to:
- Conduct structured suicide risk and self-harm assessments
- Stratify suicide risk levels and implement appropriate safety planning
- Identify when a targeted CBT protocol for suicidal ideation is indicated
- Implement a structured 10-session treatment plan for suicidal ideation
- Apply CBT techniques specific to suicide risk reduction rather than general symptom management
- Troubleshoot treatment barriers when progress is limited
- Recognise indicators of readiness to transition back to broader therapeutic goals
Who Is This Training For?
This training is designed for psychologists, therapists, and mental health professionals working with clients experiencing suicidal ideation. It is particularly suited to clinicians who:
- Want structured intervention strategies beyond safety planning
- Seek greater confidence managing ongoing suicidal ideation
- Want a protocol-driven approach grounded in evidence-based CBT

Amanda Moses has trained thousands of psychologists and allied health professionals internationally. Below is a selection of feedback from psychologists who have completed CPD training and courses through Amanda Moses Psychology.
Amanda's courses are definitely on my list for continuing PD - she's absolutely brilliant!
And super lovely - an incredible, empathetic and caring role model for sure x
Something else that has absolutely spurred me on - realising just how much Amanda is doing for Neurodiversity and those of us realising, we are ND a little later in life.
Having Amanda and a few others with similar passions providing so much support and education and acceptance has truly blown me away.
I am really enjoying your course so far- it's the most engaging CPD I have done for ages!!
The training has been invaluable - I am most grateful to you and your wisdom.
Amanda, your course and the way you present it, is truly at another level. I really don’t know how I would have managed without it. It was worth every cent!
I always gain incredible value from Amanda’s knowledge and insights. I look forward to undertaking future professional development sessions she runs.
Since returning to work as a psychologist after extended maternity leave to care for my young family, I’ve embarked on a journey and a personal mission to learn as much as I can about neurodiversity affirming practice. It was amazing finding Amanda Moses’ work because I knew I could rely on the information she was providing to be truly NDA, which is something I often worried about earlier on in my journey. I recommend Amanda Moses Psychology to colleagues who endeavor to learn more about NDA practice, and I’m really excited to access further training through Amanda Moses Psychology.
I have always found Amanda’s trainings to be exceptionally well-paced, evidence-based, detailed, and practical. The content is thoughtfully delivered and provides clear strategies that can be readily applied in practice. Amanda is highly knowledgeable, and her trainings are well worth the investment. As a psychologist supporting Autistic and ADHD individuals across the lifespan, I would highly recommend any of her programs.
Your training is incredible!! I want you to know. It covers everything I could possibly want to know, from basic to all the extra considerations and complexities. I am truly loving it, applying it already in sessions with clients, and am shortly about to commence formal assessment. Thank you so much for this PD. I’m excited to engage in the last parts.
