Compassion Focussed Therapy

Compassion Focussed Therapy, or CFT, is a psychological approach that draws on our knowledge of human nature, attachment and evolution to understand how and why we experience and struggle with different emotions.  Originally developed to understand and address difficulties with self criticism and shame, the approach is widely used to support people struggling with a range of experiences, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and those struggling with trauma histories.
