Introducing Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals who struggle with shame, self-criticism, or difficulties with self-worth. At its heart, CFT recognises that many emotional difficulties are rooted in how we relate to ourselves, particularly during times of stress or perceived failure. It gently helps develop a compassionate inner voice, rather than a critical or punitive one, supporting your ability to respond to challenges with kindness and courage.
Build a more nurturing mindset
CFT is especially helpful for those who feel stuck in patterns of self-blame, chronic anxiety, or depression. In therapy, you’ll learn to understand the “tricky brain” we’ve inherited through evolution—one that’s often primed for threat and self-judgment. Through guided exercises, imagery, and reflective practices, CFT helps build a more balanced and nurturing mindset.
Tailored to your needs
Our CFT approach is grounded in evidence and delivered in a safe, non-judgemental space. We tailor the work to your unique needs, at your pace, and with warmth and respect. Whether you're new to therapy or continuing your journey, compassion-focused work can support deeper emotional healing and foster a more supportive relationship with yourself and others.
If you often find it easier to offer kindness to others than to yourself, CFT may be a gentle, transformative step forward.
