The Certificate in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) provides a comprehensive foundation in this evidence-based therapeutic approach, which integrates insights from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Evolutionary Psychology, and Attachment Theory. Designed to support practitioners working with clients who experience high levels of shame, self-criticism, and difficulties arising from early relational adversity, the programme emphasises the cultivation of compassion as a means of promoting psychological resilience and wellbeing. Through the development of compassionate motivation, attention, emotion, behaviour, and thought, participants will learn to apply CFT principles to help clients reduce self-criticism, foster self-acceptance, and build healthier interpersonal connections.
