Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a research-based therapy founded on a combination of principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Evolutionary Psychology, and Attachment Theory. It was developed to work specifically with clients who experience high levels of shame and self-criticism and who have had early experiences of poor attachment, affiliation and affection. By developing care and affiliative-focused motivation, attention, emotion, behaviour and thinking CFT begins to address these problems.
