Overview

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view my profile. My name is Kathryn, and I am a clinical psychologist based in the West Midlands.

I first started using Compassion Focused Therapy during my clinical psychology doctorate training in 2014, and since then, my passion and enthusiasm for the model have continued to grow. I accessed any introductory level courses that I could, as well as specialist CFT supervision. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study CFT at diploma level in 2022, where my knowledge of and ability to apply CFT deepened.

During this time, I was working for the NHS in a community mental health team, applying CFT with people who were presenting with a range of difficulties, including trauma, psychosis, depression, anxiety and emotional regulation difficulties. I was able to witness how powerful this model can be, and see the significant, positive impact that it can have on people. I see CFT as a more ‘active’ and creative model of therapy compared to some other models, and I believe that this helps to access parts of the mind that traditional talking therapies may struggle to activate.

In 2024, I began working in an NHS service that was commissioned to work with people who had experienced sexual trauma. People who have experienced sexual trauma often develop high levels of shame and self-criticism as a result of what has happened to them, when of course what they have been through was not their fault. CFT fits very well with this client group, and can help people to bring compassion to themselves, rather than blame. I was able to introduce the model into the service in many different ways; in my individual therapy sessions, through the development of a CFT group programme, delivery of compassion focused staff support sessions, facilitating CFT informed reflective practice and delivery of CFT training. During my work in this service, I also accessed further advanced CFT training with Dr Kate Lucre, including ‘compassion focused therapy for groups’ and ‘advanced compassion focused group psychotherapy’, as well as a CFT supervision course through the Compassionate Mind Foundation.

I am currently offering CFT supervision in either individual or group format. I can offer supervision online, or if you are local to Lichfield we can look into face-to-face options if this is preferred.

Please contact me if you would like any more information or if you would like to discuss the possibility of starting supervision with me. My email address is kathryn@fletcherjonespsychology.co.uk
