The Compassion Initiative: Just Two Guys in Brisbane talking Compassion. www.thecompassioninitiative.com.au The Compassion Initiative: Dr Stan Steindl and Dr James Kirby

Dr Nicola Petrocchi, psychologist and psychotherapist trained at APC-SPC, holds a doctorate in Psychology and Social Neurosciences at La Sapienza University and a visiting scholarship at Boston University where he carried out an experimental study on Loving Kindness Meditation with depressed patients under the supervision of Professor Stefan Hofman.

After more than 8 years of collaboration and continuous training with Professor Paul Gilbert (creator of CFT), Niki founded Compassionate Mind Italia, the only Italian association recognised by the English foundation (Compassionate Mind UK) for the diffusion, research and training in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

Nicola is trainer and supervisor of CFT, translator and editor of Paul Gilbert's book Compassion Focused Therapy, Distinctive Features, and collaborator with Paul Gilbert in conducting training courses in Italy and England, and in numerous research projects investigating heart rate variability (HRV) as a physiological index of the activation of compassion.

Niki is the author of numerous articles and chapters in the international arena and, together with James Kirby and Beatrice Baldi, author of the first CFT practice guide, Essentials of Compassion Focused Therapy: A Practice Manual for Clinicians (2023). Niki is also the lead author on a recent meta-analysis of compassion focused therapy randomised controlled trials, which is the topic of our conversation today!
