Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) at Mind Body Well
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is an approach used by Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well to help people cultivate self-compassion, reduce self-criticism and foster emotional balance.
CFT draws on neuroscience and psychology to support people in developing a kinder and mor self-supporting relationship with themselves. This approach is particularly beneficial for those experiencing high levels of shame, self-judgement and perfectionism. Through guided practices, CFT encourages a compassionate mindset, helping people respond to challenges with care rather than criticism.
If you’re ready to develop a more compassionate approach to yourself, our Psychologists and Clinical Psychologists at Mind Body Well can support you. Therapeutic approaches are determined in consultation between the Psychologist and client, after a thorough assessment has been conducted.
