Additional Info

As this workshop focuses on clinical skills, it is assumed that delegates will have good knowledge of the basics of Compassion Focused Therapy, and should have previously attended a three day Introduction to CFT workshop either by us or a reputable provider. We would also advise that delegates have at least six months of experience using CFT in their practice and with clients prior to the start of the workshop.

This workshop will count for 20 hours towards your CPD points, and you will receive a certificate of attendance shortly after the workshop via email.

Handouts and joining instructions will be sent via email in the week leading up to the workshop. Once you click on the Zoom link for this workshop, you will be placed in a waiting room, and a member of staff will add you to the meeting shortly before it begins. There will be support available throughout the workshop should you encounter any technical problems.

This workshop will be recorded, and recordings will be sent to all delegates shortly after the end of the workshop. You will have access to these recordings for up to three months.

FAQs

Can I attend the Advanced Clinical Skills without having completed an Introduction to CFT?

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 Advanced 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

Will I get a certificate of attendance?

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
