Description

If you’ve ever wondered why we’re so hard on ourselves, even when we’re trying our best, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) might just have the answer. This course explores the emotional systems that govern our thoughts, reactions and relationships — with a warm, evidence-based approach that combines psychology, neuroscience and a touch of good sense. You’ll be guided through the core principles of CFT, including how shame, self-criticism and threat responses affect our mental wellbeing, and what to do when your inner critic is more of a full-blown panel.

Designed for those with an interest in mental health, emotional resilience or therapeutic frameworks, this course offers structured, insightful content that you can explore from the comfort of your own space — no need to rearrange your furniture or your diary. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding or simply find a better way to speak to yourself, this course offers thoughtful, relevant insights delivered with clarity and a sense of calm.
