How great would you feel if you weren't trapped in your negative thoughts?

Do you wake up dreading the day? Anxiety raging in your head or depression dragging you into the depths of despair…?

Do you wake up with a nagging voice judging you before you’ve even opened your eyes? “Why did you push the snooze button?” “Now you’re late already!!!” “You’re such an idiot!”

Do you wish you could just shut it off or at least turn the volume down?

Life is hard.  Why make it any harder?

We know how you feel.

We have lived this too.

The pain of feeling like a failure no matter how hard you try. 

Constantly wishing that your life was different

Hating yourself for not being better; smarter, stronger, prettier, richer, thinner, more successful….

Let’s be honest – the world is in a pretty bad way right now. It’s exhausting trying to manage in a world of chaos, restrictions, fear-mongering and righteous social judgements. Feeling constantly uncertain and powerless as politicians continue imposing rules and shifting the goal posts so you can’t even plan your life.

It’s crazy. It’s infuriating. It’s suffocating and to be perfectly honest, blimin hard to deal with. All this on top of your everyday challenges – making ends meet, coping with work pressures, caring for family, never mind looking after yourself, staying healthy, feeling good about yourself especially when you’re overwhelmed.

Life is hard right now. Keeping your head above water is pretty tough. But why make it any harder by beating yourself up and putting yourself down?

And who's got time for this woo woo stuff anyway?

Just don't have time for this?

We hear you.

We’ve struggled with this for most of our life, but not anymore. 

That vicious voice inside our head has been transformed into a supportive, friendly, caring voice. 

You can have a kinder voice inside your head too. 

Now, we can’t change these external events, but we can tend to your fear, frustration and heartache that this global situation and everyday stress brings.

If you want to feel calmer, stronger and more able to cope, we can help!

We have the key to calming your stress, soothing your nerves and building your self-confidence.

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) can help you.

“MSC was the reason I was able to get rid of my anxiety and move through my depression."

~ Natalie Edwards

Can just one hour a week really change your life?

Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is an empirically-supported programme designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion.

Mindfulness is the foundation of self-compassion.  We need to notice, become aware and then turn towards our struggle before we can respond with kindness.

Research by Dr. Kristin Neff demonstrates the proven benefits of Mindful Self-Compassion safely and effectively improves your health by:

  • reducing anxiety
  • reducing depression
  • enhancing emotional well-being
  • building resilience
  • boosting happiness

This 6-Session Mindful Self-Compassion Programme is a succinct induction for the development and practice of self-compassion.

It will give you practical skills to handle the ‘crazy’ that life is throwing at you and help you feel more grounded and safe inside.

“WOW what a six weeks!  The weeks are crafted to get the most out of each session, arming you with many, many tools that can be applied in a variety of ways to live a more self compassionate life. Areas are covered in enough depth that you feel empowered by the knowledge but not overwhelmed. So many of the topics covered in the course resonated with me and I am excited to see where they take me. I would highly recommend this course to anyone.”

Frequently Asked Questions

MSC is a lifesaver especially after years of harsh self criticism and self hate. I can be more encouraging towards myself and even ask for help which I would never have considered an option. I am learning to trust myself and allowing myself to be me with all my messiness and hang ups. Allowance of what's here, with me, in me, has been the biggest gift.”

Melony Weatherall
