In particular, this applies to our body image and how we perceive and appraise our physical appearance. It is becoming increasingly difficult to measure up to unrealistic standards of beauty and attractiveness, and many people feel pressured to go to great lengths in this endeavour.

It is not surprising therefore that we can feel stuck, anxious, low in mood or lacking in motivation at times. More than ever, we can all benefit from being kinder and more compassionate to ourselves.

Our philosophy

We live in a fast-paced and stressful world. With our devices and working from home, we are always ‘on’. Many of us struggle with sleeping or managing the pressures of day-to-day life. Social media bombards us with images that can make us feel inadequate and we are often our own worst critics. Many of us may feel that we should be living life in a certain way, and feel frustrated or ashamed that we are not. It can feel sometimes as though we don’t have enough, or that we are not enough, and these feelings can contribute to dissatisfaction in life.
