My Name is Cassandra McCaffrey and I am a 4th year student currently studying at DBS School of Arts, Dublin, doing a BA in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am in the process of writing a thesis on:

An Exploration of the use of Compassion Focused Therapy as a treatment approach for Eating Disorders

As a clinician working in the area of eating disorders and with experience of compassion focussed therapy, I am looking for your insight and willingness to participate in a short interview lasting no more than 45-60mins. The interview will be recorded and transcribed. You can request a copy of this interview, once transcribed (This process can be completed face to face or over the phone, whatever suits you best).

Please note that your personal information will be pseudo-anonymised and no one will be able to trace the information back to you.

You can also freely withdraw from this research at anytime. All information provided will be stored securely under the Data Protection Act. Please sign below if you give consent for the interview to occur and we can arrange a time and date that suits you.

Thank you very much for your time. I really appreciate it.
