Overview of CFT training, supervision training and experience:  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.
