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 know intellectually that you should be kinder to yourself - but somehow that knowledge never quite happens in day to day life and the way you talk to yourself each day.

​

If so, you are not alone and you are not broken. 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 through evidence-based approaches that 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 for you to listen to at home, and your own 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 consistently shows the opposite. Self-criticism activates the brain's threat system, flooding the body with stress hormones that 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.
