What is Compassion focused therapy?
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) aims to help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging people in treatment to be compassionate toward themselves and other people. Compassion, both toward the self and toward others, is an emotional response believed by many to be an essential aspect of well-being. Its development may often have the benefit of improved mental and emotional health.
It is considered an integrative therapy as it uses tools from other psychotherapies. It also uses research and tools from Buddhism, neuroscience and evolutionary therapy.

The principles of compassion for a happy life
We have worked with many organisations such as businesses, schools and universities talking about the life changing effects that people can benefit from when they develop compassion for themselves and others - how by developing compassion makes us happier and our lives more meaningful. From changes in behaviour to changing their relationship to past traumas and experiences and the principles needed to thrive in life.
