The BPS Approved Certificate in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) offers a solid grounding in this evidence-based therapeutic approach, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Evolutionary Psychology, and Attachment Theory. Designed for practitioners working with clients affected by shame, self-criticism, or early relational adversity, the programme emphasises the development of compassion as a means of enhancing psychological resilience and wellbeing. By cultivating compassionate motivation, attention, emotion, behaviour, and thought, participants will learn to apply CFT principles to help clients reduce self-criticism, foster self-acceptance, and strengthen their interpersonal relationships.
