Taming the
Inner Critic

Tools for developing
self-compassion, confidence
and unshakable self-belief

Is your inner critic
    running (ruining) your life?


Do you have a sense that nothing you do is ever good enough, 
no matter how hard you try?

Do you get to the end of the day and all you can think about is 
what you should have done and didn't?

Is self-sabotage your middle name?

Are you surrounded by people and yet feeling isolated and alone?

Do you find it difficult (impossible) to create healthy boundaries that 
lead to a balanced life of work, relaxation and play?

Does the concept of self-compassion sound like a foreign language to you?

      If you have a little voice that sits on your shoulder, 
whispering endlessly in your ear,
telling you that you are not good enough... 
then this course is for you.

“Believe in yourself.”

  That's the message that we're given constantly, in books, television shows, superhero comics, and common myths and legends.

We're told we can accomplish anything if we just believe in ourselves.

Of course, it's not true;
we can't just achieve anything in the world simply through belief.
If it was true, a lot more children would be soaring in the skies above their garage roof instead of lugging around a cast for a few weeks!

Our inner voice criticises us for NOT being the things we "SHOULD" be -- it may tell us we need to be faster, smarter, more graceful, or more good-looking so that people will like us, so that we will belong.

Self-love and compassion play a crucial role in living a happy life.

So you just need to love yourself more. Simple, right?

Are a lack of confidence and self-worth impacting
negatively on your life?

  You long to feel connected, confident and joyful but …

You constantly 'should' all over yourself...

another day, another commitment to yourself not met...you didn't eat healthily, you didn't go to the gym, you didn't, didn't, didn't and you really should have... 

You have a sense that you should love yourself more...

but you have no idea how to or where to start or what does that even mean?

You are stuck in a loop of starting and stopping and starting and ..

  you're feeling exhausted, empty and unable to keep up with the pressures and demands of your day to day life. Perfectionism is running the show.

                                    There is a solution for supporting YOU,
                                       helping YOU be there for YOU

Client raves...

“I wholeheartedly recommend working with Jean. Over the twelve months we worked together I consistently found Jean to be an open-hearted, skilled listener and coach, who always brought a calming, kind and supportive energy into the space. I think everyone would benefit from time with her.” 

Dr Govinda Clayton
Senior Researcher in Peace Processes, ETH Zurick

“The sense of presence and depth that Jean brings to her work is exceptional and she appears to hold everything with great tenderness. In a world of distractions and busy minds, it is rare to find moments where someone feels really there with you the way that Jean is. Her real willingness to move towards depth and authenticity has been both grounding and inspiring in my life.” Sabrin K, Lead Teacher London, UK

“I cannot imagine what my life would be like without Jean's influence. I always felt completely at ease around her. There is a very peaceful realness about Jean that makes even her moments of silence powerful and gripping. In her presence, I experienced a strong urge to let my guards down and reveal myself to myself as well as her. There aren’t many places where we can practice being authentic. There is something about Jean that invites you and pulls you, with just the right amount of force, towards being more open, honest and free. That may not be an easy place to be in for everyone but if you would appreciate the guidance to truly explore and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level, in a completely safe, loving and compassionate environment, then I believe Jean will be the perfect fit for you.”

"I always feel grounded and peaceful after working with Jean. She has an amazing way of listening to me and what I’m saying and I feel so accepted and understood. I’ve been able to uncover some big blocks and make significant changes in my life." 

Penny L
Assistant Head of Pastoral Care, Shangai

"Working with Jean feels really safe. She has helped me see the best in myself, the parts of myself that I couldn’t see before because of the way I was feeling about myself. She's deeply compassionate and caring and I’m really grateful to have found her." Janine, Teacher, NZ

A harmonious inner world

Know, believe in, and trust yourself more deeply

Are you ready to take care of you?

Taming the Inner Critic is an opportunity to pause and reflect, come into a space of centred calmness and self-compassion. The course is personalised and especially designed to support you mentally and emotionally as you navigate a deeper relationship with your inner critic.

Each week, we'll explore a range of practical tools and techniques for reducing self criticism, and increasing self-compassion and joy.

A personalised journey meeting your specific needs.

• you are constantly comparing yourself to others and falling short each time
• you are ready to make your wellbeing a priority
• you recognise that 'trying to do it alone' doesn't work and in fact adds to your pattern of self-sabotage
• you honour and respect boundaries  
• you want to commit to showing up for you, being open to coaching and learning new skills.  
• you are determined to stop spinning your wheels and get out of the rut you find yourself in
• your inner critic is ruining your life, limiting your experiences, holding you back from going for your dreams
• the term inner-peace sounds like an unobtainable goal
• you are sick and tired of feeling stuck
• you are constantly comparing yourself to others and falling short each time
• you are ready for real change and are willing to learn some new tools to get you there
• you believe, somewhere inside you, that you have the power to create change in your life

• you want someone to save you or “fix it” for you
• you are looking to just download complete planner or e-book full of solutions and then file it in some never to be seen again folder  
• you aren’t able to respect boundaries
• you don’t want to put in any effort to create change  
• you want to remain stuck and just dream about your dreams
• you enjoy complaining

Following your registration, I'll send through a calendar link where you can select your session time. You can choose when and how often we meet with my recommendation being weekly or fortnightly. All sessions need to be completed within a 3 month time frame to ensure maximum benefit from the programme.

No. Taming Your Inner Critic is NOT about creating more stress in your life. It’s about allowing yourself to have a safe space ‘to be’ and to explore your inner world. There will be suggestions of activities that you could implement outside of our time together should you wish to experience sustainable change.

Due to the live nature of the course, no. Please make sure when signing up that you are committed to making and taking this time for you.
