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 attend a significant interest group 6 weekly and the annual conference as well as engaging in my own reading to keep up to date with the practice of CFT. I regularly use CFT in my NHS work, in hospital staff support and in my previous role working with adults with complex post-traumatic stress disorder, with individual clients, teams and organisations. I have delivered training in CFT to the local University clinical psychology doctorate and within the teams and NHS trusts I have worked in, including facilitating Compassionate Mind Training Groups, for which I was supervised by Dr Chris Irons.

I am enthusiastic about supporting people to work with CFT- please do not hesitate to get in touch.

I am a clinical psychologist, supervisor and trainer specialising in CFT. I have been using CFT in my practice for over ten years, having attended many CFT workshops (including the three day introductory training, advanced clinical skills, CFT approaches to trauma, working with people who hear voices, chair work, compassionate leadership, and compassion focused staff support). I completed a one year postgraduate certificate in CFT at the University of Derby in 2017. I receive monthly specialist CFT supervision, and have done so for the last seven years. I co-founded and co-facilitate a local CFT peer supervision group, which has been running for five years, as well as providing individual CFT supervision for a range of psychologists and therapists. I regularly deliver CFT training to trainee clinical psychologists, and have delivered a range of CFT workshops and training sessions within my NHS trust. I have a particular interest in staff wellbeing and compassion in teams and organisations, having worked in a staff wellbeing service for two years and developing and delivering a range of compassion-focused interventions (at individual, group, and system/organisational level) during this time.
