Overview

Therapists are often drawn to Compassion Focused Therapy when they notice that some of the difficulties their clients experience are rooted in deep patterns of shame, self-criticism, or a sense of not feeling good enough. These patterns can remain difficult to shift using cognitive or behavioural strategies alone.

Compassion Focused Therapy offers a framework for understanding how threat-based emotional systems develop and how we can help clients cultivate greater self-support, warmth, and steadiness from within.

My aim in supervision is to offer a reflective, compassionate space where therapists can slow down and think together about their clinical work. Supervision can be a place to explore compassionate formulation, develop confidence in compassion-based practices, and reflect on the relational processes that unfold within therapy.

I am Chenelle Owen, an accredited Psychological Therapist (BABCP) based in Banstead, Surrey. I offer Compassion Focused Therapy supervision for therapists who would like to deepen their use of CFT in practice. Supervision is available online across the UK and in person in Banstead.

My approach to supervision is collaborative and reflective, grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for the complexity of the work we do.

Compassion Focused Therapy is a central part of my clinical practice. I have completed specialist training in Compassion Focused Therapy through the Compassionate Mind Foundation and continue to deepen my practice through ongoing training and supervision within compassion-focused approaches. Alongside my private practice, I work within NHS Talking Therapies where I am part of a Community Trauma Clinic supporting people who have experienced complex life adversities, including experiences such as childhood abuse, exploitation, and displacement. Within my NHS role I have also facilitated group supervision for therapists delivering Compassion Focused Therapy groups, supporting clinicians to reflect on formulation, develop confidence in compassion-based practices, and think together about the challenges that can arise when working with shame and self-criticism. I also work as an associate therapist with Balanced Minds, delivering Compassion Focused Therapy within their service. In my clinical work Compassion Focused Therapy often provides the central framework. Where helpful, I also draw on CBT, trauma-informed approaches, and EMDR, using compassionate formulation and compassion-based practices to support change. Supervision offers a space to think together about the clinical work, including the moments that can feel uncertain, stuck, or emotionally demanding. I continue to deepen my practice through regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development within compassion-focused therapy.

I began learning about CFT in 2011 and started formal CFT training in 2013. I started with the introduction to CFT, went on to complete the Advanced CFT training, and then took a deep dive into studying CFT by completing the Post-Graduate Certificate in CFT at the University of Derby under the tuition of Professor Paul Gilbert, and supervision of Dr Mary Welford. I have gained much from regular supervision with Dr Chris Irons and Dr Kate Lucre, both of whom I’ve been working with for many years. I have completed so many wonderful CFT specialist workshops since I’ve lost count! Some of the CFT trainings I have completed include CFT for trauma, complex trauma/ personality disorder/ attachment trauma, groups, staff support, eating disorders, psychosis, self-criticism, the therapeutic relationship, and chairwork.
