What Is Compassion-Focused training?
My approach to training is grounded in psychological science, emotional intelligence, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). I use these foundations to help you understand internal obstacles, spark motivation, and cultivate a kinder, more confident relationship with yourself.
Unlike therapy, training is future-focused and goal-oriented. In our sessions, we work together to gain perspective, set meaningful goals, and take intentional action, all within a supportive, compassionate environment designed to help you grow and succeed.
What You’ll Gain
By working together, you can expect to:
Develop greater self-awareness and understanding of your emotional patterns
Build emotional resilience and coping strategies for stress and anxiety
Strengthen motivation to achieve personal and professional goals
Cultivate self-compassion and a more supportive internal dialogue
Take intentional steps toward growth in a structured, goal-oriented way
Why Choose CFT-Based Training
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) provides the scientific foundation for understanding how our brains respond to stress, threat, and motivation.
By integrating CFT into training, we focus not only on problem-solving but also on cultivating a compassionate and supportive relationship with yourself, which research shows enhances resilience, mental well-being, and sustained behavioral change.
Who Is CFT Training For?
Psychologists & Psychotherapists
Coaches & Counsellors
Social workers & Mental health professionals
Medical professionals & nurses
Educators & wellbeing practitioners
