About this app

The Self-Compassion App is for you if you want to feel happier, calmer & more connected. Whether you get caught up in cycles of stress and anxiety, regularly give yourself a hard time or struggle to relax and enjoy the moment – this app can help.

The app includes scientifically-validated practices from Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), with 50+ tools to help you when life gets hard. Be guided by Drs Chris Irons and Elaine Beaumont – leading authorities on self-compassion, who collectively have 40+ years of experience as therapists and have helped tens of thousands of people.

This app has undergone a nationwide study, with participants showing significant reductions in stress, anxiety, self criticism, and increases in wellbeing. Anyone can develop self-compassion and enjoy all its benefits – we look forward to showing you how.

Why self-compassion?
We are often our own harshest critic, talking to ourselves in ways that we would never do our close friends. Given that we spend more time with ourselves than anyone else, isn’t it strange that many of us don’t treat ourselves with the same level of kindness, care and support as we do our close friends? Now is your time to start.

With evidence based ideas and exercises from CFT, this app will teach you how to cultivate compassion for yourself and others. Through the course, you’ll learn how to strike a balance between self improvement & self acceptance: teaching you how to have a realistic but kind view of difficulties that arise in life, and giving you the confidence you need to achieve your goals in life, work and relationships.
A toolkit for managing the ups and downs of life.

Brilliant. Easily accessible and full of life changing practices that are easily accessible and relatable. They are also presented in a way that is not overwhelming. The reminders (nudges) are very helpful and motivating as is the daily gratefulness (morning and evening check-ins). I am halfway through the course and have been using it for almost a month. You could do it much quicker but it takes time to actually put what you are learning into practice, which I have been doing every day 😊

I've now deleted this app. It costs a huge amount upfront for what you get with no option for a monthly subscription to cover development costs. Speaking of development, I did not notice any improvements over the 12 months. If anything the app became less reliable and crashed a few times. Absolute waste of money.

This app has most resources required for self-CFT practice, especially if one is new to compassion focused therapy. However, as an app, it is quite counterproductive to the therapy. There is no web interface or desktop app. All the exercises require users to manage them on mobile phones. Also, there is no linear path for anyone seeking just to follow the therapy step by step with instructions. There are many options for random breathing sessions, reflections etc.
