Free Self-Compassion Workshop
The Court House
Health
Wednesday 28th May

Unlock Psychology Ltd is a Warwick-based clinical psychology service. We are pleased to be offering free, in-person, hour-long Self-Compassion Workshops in the heart of Warwick, at The Court House. These interactive workshops will introduce the concept of self-compassion, highlight barriers to compassion, and introduce practical tools to foster self-compassion. They are designed for anyone wanting to learn more about self-compassion, who wants to improve their mental health and address self-criticism.
It is facilited by qualified clinical psychologist and accredited cognitive behavioural therapist (CBT), Dr Alastair Pipkin, who has been delivering psychological therapy using compassion-focused therapy for over 10 years. He has published research on self-compassion, designed and evaluated compassion-focused therapy groups, and trained other professionals in using it too.
The workshop will cover:
- Why we have a 'tricky brain'
- The 'three systems' model of the brain
- The concept of self-compassion
- Mindfulness techniques
- Tools to foster self-compassion
It is interactive, though you will not be asked nor expected to share any of your personal experiences, only to share any thoughts or reflections on the topic at hand. It is a confidential space, so who attended and what was said will remain confidential outside of the room. It is not a replacement for psychological therapy, rather it is an educational workshop designed to help raise awareness and offer practical tools to use in daily life.
What you can expect to gain by the end of the hour:
- The ability to define why we have a tricky brain
- Able to list some barriers to compassion
- Utilise mindfulness practice
- Use skills to foster self-compassion
Spaces are limited to 20 so book early to avoid missing out!
