Workshop
Compassion Focused Therapy for Eating Disorders
This is a two day online workshop with Dr Ken Goss
About this workshop
CFT-E is an evidence-based treatment that is highly effective for people with a range of difficulties with eating disorders.
This workshop is designed to introduce the principles, philosophy and techniques of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and how these can be modified and applied to help people recover from an eating disorder/eating distress. It outlines ways to improve therapeutic outcomes and support long term recovery. It is aimed at health professionals who are working, or want to work, therapeutically with young people and adults with these difficulties. It will help you explore if this approach would be a useful addition to your therapeutic repertoire.
The workshop outlines how CFT-E teaches clients skills to recognise and regulate their emotions, enhance their compassionate motivation to change, address thoughts and feelings linked to disordered eating (including shame self-criticism) and make clinically significant changes in their behaviours.
It will explore how this transdiagnostic approach can be used to support people with a range of eating disorder diagnoses (including Anorexia and Bulimia Nervosa, OSFED, Binge Eating Disorder) and overeating associated with emotional distress. It will also outline how it can be used in a range of ways including group, individual and in-person work, day patient and in-patient settings and as guided self-help or online therapy..
During the workshop you will be introduced to the CFT-E formulation and treatment model, including the aims and flow of therapy, and a session-by-session outline for clinical delivery. It will also outline the evidence that supports incorporating CFT-E into mainstream care, including recent controlled and randomised controlled trials.

This workshop is aimed at those who have a good grounding in the foundations of Compassion Focused Therapy, so we do require that you have completed an Introductory workshop beforehand (please check the topics covered in the Introduction to CFT workshop on our Training Pathway). We generally recommend leaving at least six months between completing an Introductory workshop and attending the Clinical Skills workshop in order to give yourself time to practise with your clients, as this workshop will be aimed to helping you to build on your skills.
Introductory workshops held by other organisations will be accepted, so long as they are at least two days in length, include the topics covered in our Introduction to CFT course, and are led by a recognised CFT trainer. For any queries about this, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk
Yes, this course is suitable for those who are new to CFT, although some knowledge of the basics may be helpful.
Unfortunately, this workshop will not be suitable for those with no prior CFT training. The trainer will be teaching the workshop on the assumption that all attendees have a good understanding of the model and will not have time to go over this. We recommend first attending one of our Introduction to CFT workshops, which we run several times a year.
We understand that, due to time differences, it may not be possible for you to attend all of this training live with us. With that in mind, the workshop will be recorded, and you'll have access to the recordings for up to three months after the live broadcast to watch in your own time.
If you're unable to attend for the entire duration, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk to let us know, as non-attendees will not receive a certificate unless we are informed of your circumstances.
This workshop does cover some of the basics of the CFT model so this has been advertised as a beginner level workshop, however we do recommend some prior training or experience of CFT as the trainers will not have time to address this in depth.
No, this is for personal practice, and is open to all.
Due to the interactive nature of this workshop, and particularly that it will contain a lot of group work, we feel you'd be missing too much of its value if you cannot participate live. So all delegates will need to attend live. Any delegates that have signed up but don't attend will not receive a CPD certificate.
Please get in touch at hello@compassionatemind.co.uk if you can now longer attend this workshop and need to change your booking.
Yes, this absolutley fine. The workshop will be recorded, and you'll be able to catch up on anything you've missed for up to a month after the live broadcast.
