New Formats for our Introductory Workshops for 2026

In 2026, we'll be offering some different ways for you to take part in one of our Introduction to Theory & Practice of Compassion Focused Therapy Workshops. Throughout the year, there will be the choice of whether to attend the course over three consecutive days during the week, three consecutive days over a weekend, three days over three weeks (so, three consecutive Mondays or Fridays), or five afternoons (according to BST or GMT) over five weeks. All introductory workshops for 2026 will be added to the website shortly.

Feedback

Here's what some of our delegates had to say about their workshop experience

“Incredibly inspiring 3 day Advanced Skills workshop... the whole course was delivered in a very compassionate and supportive way with so much chance for questions. The course has resonated with me so much, personally and professionally, and it felt an honour to be taught by Paul. I am so excited to be part of the CFT community and keen to spread the word with clients and colleagues! I feel like it offers something that so many other therapies lack i.e. specific techniques to help people improve their self-worth and address attachment problems, as opposed to just increasing awareness or challenging thoughts.”

Rebecca, UK

“Thank you Tobyn and Alison for such an excellent and well-organized overview of Compassion-Focused Therapy Chairwork. Your webinar was a perfect balance of didactic presentations, demonstrations, and experiential small group practice. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone working with clients in therapy.”

Marlene, USA

"A thank you for last week's Compassion Focused Groups Psychotherapy course with Kate. It was so informative and really gave me a much-needed boost, as well as enthusiasm for my new project."

Colette, UK
