Life and work are increasingly stressful and challenging for us all. Research shows that self-compassion is a protective factor in a wide range of wellbeing indicators, including psychological health. Self-compassion training enables us to increase our emotional resilience and self-care.

We offer a 90-minute session focused on considering our development of Self-Compassion and how this approach can enable us to be happier, healthier and more resilient at work. This is a facilitated discussion, an introduction to self-compassion theory and practice, and the opportunity to participate in a reflective space

After this session, you will:

  • Understand the three components of self-compassion
  • Understand the basic theory, research and scientific support of self-compassion
  • Have had the opportunity to learn and practice all the key aspects of self-compassion
  • Have been provided with practical tips and exercises to promote self-compassion and increase emotional resilience
  • Have been provided with relevant essential tasks to embed self-compassion and self-care development in your daily life and work

We also provide below a complete reading list and resources that support your thinking around self-compassion. Self-compassion is an essential component of wellbeing, and we encourage some self-study by utilising the information and resources available to you.  

Coaching and Mentoring can also provide a one-to-one confidential space to focus on work-specific challenges, and our Health and Wellbeing pages offer additional support.
