This workshop is only open to Imperial students.
Please note: In order to attend this course, we will ask you to attend a 15-minute online mandatory pre-consultation with one of our practitioners. This is to assess your suitability for the course. If the practitioner believes that this is not the right time for you to attend the course, they will discuss other options for support with you.
This 6 week therapeutic group is specifically designed for students who have strong critical tendencies, self-judgement, comparing to others, perfectionism or low self-esteem and who would like to work on changing these tendencies with a compassion focused approach.
The group introduces theory, resources, and techniques from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to help develop mindfulness and notice thoughts and behaviours that may be contributing to distress. It provides a space for developing alternative ways of thinking and being that might be more helpful. There will be a large experiential aspect to the group, with plenty of opportunity for discussion and practice in relating the theory of CFT to your own and others’ experiences and is an opportunity to learn new skills in a supportive atmosphere.
This is a weekly 2 hour ‘in person’ therapy group run over 6 consecutive weeks. Attendance is required at every session.
Please use your Imperial email to sign up.
