Kind to Yourself is a personalised 1:1 programme using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy and Compassion Focused Therapy - available online or in person.

​

​Does this sound familiar?

​

• You hold yourself to standards you would never apply to someone you love.

• When things go wrong, your first instinct is to blame yourself.

• You feel like you have to be productive all the time.

• You find it difficult to say no to people or prioritise you.

• You know intellectually that you should be kinder to yourself but that knowledge never quite reaches the voice in your head.

​

If so, you are not alone. Your inner critic part of your brain has developed for a reason. But that doesn't mean you have to keep living under its rule.

​

 

What is Kind to Yourself?

 

Kind to Yourself is a structured six-week programme designed to help you build a genuinely kinder relationship with yourself. It draws on evidence-based Solution Focused and Compassion Focused approaches to address the roots of self-criticism and create lasting change. 

​

Each week we work together to tackle your relationship to self and what would be different if you treated yourself with kindness.

 

You will understand how the brain works in creating self-criticism, your triggers, and what you can do about it. ​

 

Included in the programme are compassion-focused hypnosis downloads and a personalised Kind to Yourself personalised plan to keep you on track after the programme finishes.

 

Why self-compassion - and does it actually work?

​​

Many of us believe we need to be hard on ourselves to improve. Research suggests otherwise. Self-criticism tends to activate our threat response (our body’s built-in alarm system), which can leave us feeling stuck, exhausted and negative. Self-compassion will help you to feel more motivated, learn new ways and feel more comfortable making mistakes.

 

This programme is about treating yourself with the same encouragement you'd give a friend in need.
