About this workshop
‘Chairwork’ refers to a group of experiential psychotherapeutic techniques that incorporate chairs, the positioning of chairs and the client’s movement between them. Chairwork has a rich history in psychotherapy and has a key role in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). Research has found chairwork to be an effective, experiential intervention that increases emotional processing and activation; facilitates differentiation, dialogue and integration between internal ‘parts’ or ‘selves’; allows clients to gain a metacognitive stance; and is memorably ‘enactive’ in nature.
The webinar will provide participants with an opportunity to practice key CFT chairwork interventions such as working with self-criticism and processing multiple threat-emotions. Alternate and novel applications of CFT chairwork will be introduced and practiced, including working with blocks to compassion using chairwork and integrating motivational chairwork. Each intervention will be introduced with digital adaptations to ensure these powerful procedures can be applied when working online.
The webinar is predominantly skills-based and experiential and will include live observations, practical exercises, theoretical discussion and group reflection. Whilst the workshop is open to people new to CFT, participants will benefit from some prior knowledge of the therapy.
In this webinar participants will:
-Understand the underpinning principles and theoretical rationale for chairwork in CFT
-Practice core CFT chairwork interventions including self-critic and ‘multiple-selves’ interventions
-Work with blocks, fears and resistances to compassion using chairwork
-Practice novel applications of chair-work in CFT (including motivational chairwork)
-Learn how to adapt CFT chairwork for online practice

As this course is aimed at an intermediate level, participants will be expected to have a basic understanding of the CFT model. If you are new to CFT, we would encourage you to attend one of our introductory trainings first.
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.
No, this is for personal practice, and is open to all.
All attendees will received a certificate upon completion of the course. This will be emailed to you, so please ensure that your details are correct on registration.
Our staff will take a register on each day of the workshop and any non-attendees will not receive a certificate. If you are unable to attend for any reason, please get in touch at hello@compassionatemind.co.uk
No, as this is a supervision workshop and delegates will be discussing sensitive matters, this workshop will not be recorded. For that reason it is essential that delegates attend this workshop live. Any non-attendees will not receive a certificate.
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.
All delegates signed up to the workshop will recieve joining links and instructions when they sign up for the event via Eventbrite. Any additional handouts will be sent to you as soon as they are recieved from the speaker. If you do not recieve a welcome email when you book, or have other queries, please email hello@compassionatemind.co.uk.
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.
