Behavioural therapy for tics: consultations for clinicians 2025

Online training events 2025 | Consultations for clinicians delivering behavioural therapy for tics

We are pleased to offer 2-hour consultations for clinicians delivering behavioural therapy for tics to children, adolescents and adults.

Ideally, clinicians attending will have previously undergone the ESSTS conference BT training for beginner and/or advanced participants, or will have similar experience elsewhere before they attend.

The group format enables attendees to learn from one another about behavioural therapy techniques and adaptation for specific pieces of clinical work. There will be an emphasis on evidence-based treatment and a focus on its application in clinic.

Attendees should be able to describe anonymised casework that they have consent to share, or have technical questions that they would like to explore further and discuss in detail.
