Schedule Your Compassion-Focused Therapy Consultation

Finding support for self-criticism, shame, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself is a courageous first step. This Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) scheduling template helps mental health professionals create a warm, welcoming intake and booking experience for clients seeking compassionate mind training.

Compassion-Focused Therapy specializes in helping individuals who struggle with high levels of self-criticism, shame, and difficulty accessing their soothing system. This form template is designed specifically for therapists, counselors, and mental health practitioners offering CFT services.

What makes this template ideal for CFT practitioners?

This template goes beyond basic appointment scheduling by gathering essential context about:

• Self-criticism patterns and inner critic experiences
• Shame experiences and their impact on daily life
• Interest areas in compassionate mind training and soothing system development
• Previous therapy experience to understand the client's journey
• Preferred session format (in-person, video, or phone)

The form maintains a gentle, non-judgmental tone throughout—mirroring the compassionate approach of CFT itself. Questions are carefully worded to feel safe and supportive, reducing potential shame around seeking help.
