What centrum terapii poznawczo - behawioralnej sp. z o.o. does

Centrum Terapii Poznawczo-Behawioralnej Sp. z o.o. (CTPB) is a Warsaw-based psychotherapy training institution founded in 2002 by Magdalena Gulcz. It specializes in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Schema Therapy certification programs and is positioned as one of the longest-running dedicated CBT training providers in Poland. The company operates as a Polish limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) and has issued more than 3,500 certificates across its programs over more than two decades.

CTPB's core offerings include a flagship 4-year CBT training program (with 26 editions completed), an annual CBT training track for adults, an annual children's CBT training track, and a Schema Therapy School (now in its 11th edition). Ancillary revenue is generated through shorter workshops on emerging clinical topics (e.g., ADHD, narcissistic personality, trauma), supervision services for practicing therapists, and proprietary textbook sales. Delivery combines in-person instruction in Warsaw with Zoom-enabled sessions that allow participation of international guest faculty, broadening reach beyond the local market.

The business model is tuition-driven, with individual program fees ranging from approximately 150 to 2,850 PLN and revenue derived from long-cycle multi-year cohorts plus shorter-format workshops and supervision. The institution holds International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST) accreditation — a positioning the school states is unique in Poland — and its certifications are recognized by NFZ (Poland's National Health Fund), enabling graduates to contract with the public healthcare system. The school employs 25 certified lecturers and serves practicing and aspiring psychotherapists as its primary customer base, with no documented enterprise or institutional customer concentration.

Revenue model

1. Psychotherapy Training Programs: CTPB generates revenue primarily through fee-based professional training programs. These include 4-year post-graduate psychotherapy training, annual training programs (CBT for adults, children and adolescents), and ISST-accredited Schema Therapy schools. Participants pay registration fees, per-session fees, and full program fees. Successful completion leads to certification that qualifies graduates to contract with Poland's National Health Fund (NFZ).
2. Workshops and Masterclasses: Short-format online workshops (mini warsztaty online, masterclasses) on specialized topics (e.g., trauma, ADHD, OCD, narcissistic personality, couples therapy) are offered for individual fees. These serve both as standalone offerings and as entry points for full training programs.
3. Individual and Group Supervision: CTPB charges fees for individual supervision sessions (case evaluation, recording review) and group supervision cycles. Supervision is a required component for certification in both CBT and Schema Therapy tracks.
4. Book Sales (Księgarnia): CTPB operates a bookshop selling specialized psychology books (e.g., 'Depresja' by David Westbrook) and published materials related to CBT and Schema Therapy. Books are sold for a flat fee with shipping.

Direct peers

• Uniwersytet SWPS: Poland's largest private university with extensive postgraduate psychotherapy training programs including CBT curricula. Directly competes for the same cohort of practicing therapists and psychology graduates seeking certification, but offers degree-bearing credentials CTPB cannot.
• Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy: Internationally recognized CBT training institution founded by the originators of CBT (Aaron and Judith Beck). Comparable as the global gold standard for CBT certification training targeting practicing therapists, mirroring CTPB's role within Poland.
• Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre: University of Oxford-affiliated CBT training center offering postgraduate CBT certification programs and supervision cycles. Directly comparable in structure: multi-year CBT courses, supervision, and masterclasses for practicing therapists.

Broad incumbents

• University of Warsaw - Faculty of Psychology: Public university psychology faculty that produces a large share of Poland's clinical psychology graduates and offers postgraduate psychotherapy training. Comparable as a foundational pipeline competitor and broader provider of psychotherapy credentials.

Others

• International Society of Schema Therapy (ISST): Global credentialing and standards body for Schema Therapy that accredits CTPB's flagship program. Functions as an enabling partner and quality authority rather than a direct competitor, but its standards dictate curriculum and certification requirements.
• European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (EABCT): Pan-European umbrella organization representing CBT and behavioral therapy associations. Comparable as a sector ecosystem body, indirectly shaping accreditation, conference exposure, and curriculum standards for CTPB's target market.
