Description
“It is ok to be you”
The aim of this course is to help you cultivate a healthy self-esteem. Accept yourself just as you are with all your strengths and weakness.
If you feel yourself to be weak, inadequate, inferior or lacking in some way, if you are troubled by uncertainty and self-doubt, if your thoughts about yourself are often unkind and critical, or if you have difficulty in feeling that you have any true worth, these are signs that your self-esteem is low.
Join us on this 8-week journey where we use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy techniques to improve self-esteem and to say ‘It is ok to be me’
