Our Approach
Evidence Based Therapy Drawn From Cutting Edge Science
CFT is a form of evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy that builds on the science by integrating the neuroscience of positive emotion, and methods derived from Buddhist psychology. We have established this center in affiliation with CFT founder, esteemed English psychologist Dr. Paul Gilbert OBE. The Center is the volunteer base for The Compassionate Mind Foundation, USA.
