I have been working with CFT since 2017, with supervised clinical practice. I have been a team member on a few research projects on CFT interventions for several populations, and in doing so have acted as therapist, evaluator, rater, and took part in translating CFT manuals. Since then I’ve also been supervising MSc students working with CFT in hospital settings.
