Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

 

Are you struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem or depression? Have you lost your focus, drive or passion for life? Do you feel low in confidence, like you’ll never be good enough? Or perhaps you’re just feeling flat, uninspired and a little lost. If so, how could compassion focused therapy help? 

We understand that life can sometimes be hard and everyone struggles from time to time. With so much to think about, external pressures and the constant juggle of life, it’s easy to be critical and hard on yourself. To feel fed up, frustrated or overwhelmed.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) offers a caring, effective and evidence-based solution. Our professional, qualified and experienced therapists can help you break free from negative self-talk and unhelpful behaviour patterns. We can help to develop your self-worth, self-confidence and self-compassion so you can lead a happier and more contented life.

Compassion Focused Therapy Testimonials

My sessions at Balanced Minds were so helpful - from the referral through to working with my therapist, I could not be happier with the outcome
I cannot imagine a therapeutic environment more caring, supportive or insightful than that provided by Balanced Minds and the compassion-focused approach they offer. Fundamentally, it was the most empowering thing I have ever done.
"Thanks so much for a fabulously helpful and stimulating trainining. It really helped to make the theory concrete and to boost my confidence in delivering this valuable programme. The efforts to group people in terms of similar areas of work on the last day was really valuable."
"A meticulously well planned and wonderful course. I would completely recommend it and have found it both inspiring and hugely informative."
"I see the potential for so much good to come of this course which I am looking forward to offering to the general public. It's a wonderful alternative to Compassion Focused Therapy for those who want to develop their compassionate mind. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone who might be interested in it."
"I really appreciated the effort made to make this course - it is very well structured and with a lot of cutting-edge information."
"I found the content and format of the training excellent. I would recommend this style of training to others within all work sectors. Charlie and Chris outstanding levels of delivery, engaging with different styles were what made the 5 days outstanding 🙂 thank you"
"Charlie and Chris each brought their own style to presenting which made the week interesting but also modelled that CMT/CFT can be undertaken with different authentic styles while keeping to the core principles. It's reassuring and encouraging."
"I really enjoyed the course and I can‘t wait to apply it to my clients. I am also looking forward to the supervision as I assume the exchange of experiences will be super helpful! Thank you very much, Chris and Charlie!"
"Well delivered and well structured training, aimed at really helping participants understand the theoretical concepts as well as develop an active understanding through experiential techniques. Great to also focus on trouble shooting. I feel well equipped to run these courses now. A well balanced training."
