CBT is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on the connection between a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. More specifically, CBT operates on the principle that our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. It is a goal-oriented, practical approach that aims to help individuals identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and engage in behavioural change to improve their emotional well-being.

CFT draws from evolutionary psychology, neuroscience, and Buddhist traditions. The underlying principle of CFT is that cultivating a compassionate mindset and engage in self-soothing practices can help individuals address and alleviate emotional difficulties, particularly those related to self-criticism, shame, and self-judgement. Therapeutic techniques in CFT include guided imagery, compassionate self-talk exercises, and compassionate letter writing.

Mindfulness originates from Buddhist meditation practices but has been adapted and secularized for use in various contexts, including therapy, stress reduction, and personal growth. Mindfulness is a very helpful tool in therapy as it helps intentionally paying attention to one's thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment with a curious and accepting attitude. By being more mindful we can become more aware of ourselves by noticing our reactions to internal and external events moment by moment.
