Self-Compassion Course


Welcome to this four week, online self-compassion course


The structure of this course is straight forward and simple to use. There are four sessions in total, with a final ‘Course Summary’ at the end. 

The sessions have been designed to introduce you to ideas and practices that have been shown to help increase levels of self-compassion

Each session includes:


  • a 30 minute video
  • at least one audio self-compassion practice
  • a written summary of the session
  • a guide to set your compassionate intention for the coming week 

The course was designed to have a ‘one session per week’ structure, but if you need longer between sessions to practice your skills, then feel free to take more time
