"This is such a fantastic resource!"
This is such a fantastic resource! Supportive, encouraging and containing, whilst also helping people to explore and learn how to manage their emotions with compassion. Highly recommended.
"By far my favourite guided journal that I’ve used!"
Being able to identify what you’re feeling and compassionately explore the ‘why’ is central to self-connection and self-growth. The Give Yourself Kindness journal is a steady guide in this process. It helps you:
- name and process your emotions,
- identify what you need to cope and/or problem-solve,
- balance the acknowledgment of the hurt and suffering with gratitude and comfort, and
- give yourself the same compassion you would a loved one.
For me, journaling has been an important practice for insight, reflection and release, and this is by far my favourite guided journal that I’ve used!

"Absolutely love the journal & affirmation cards!"
A truly beautiful journal. Love the layout and thoughtfully designed pages. The prompts really help too! And I’ve used the self kindness affirmation cards with the patients I work with on a mental health ward at work. The feedback was great! So many people struggle and forget to offer themselves kindness and self-compassion, especially during hard times, when we need it most! These cards help remind us that we deserve to! Thank you :)
"The sleep cards are fantastic"
The sleep cards are fantastic. I particularly like how they foster positive thinking, relaxation, and self-compassion, which are key in managing sleep and stress. They wonderfully echo the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia and could be used as an additional tool in conquering anxiety surrounding insomnia. These cards also promote mindfulness and self-care, offering hope and support to those struggling with sleep amid life's chaos, making them a very good tool for better rest.

"Reflective, validating and beautifully constructed"
I love using these beautiful journals with clients throughout their counselling journeys. The prompts and areas to think about are helpful to shine light on their feelings, experiences and thought processes. The way the journal is constructed helps validate their entire experience and avoid toxic positivity, encourage reflection and ownership of feelings. I love them and feel privileged to be able to use them.

This is all done in a gentle and considered way, never feeling overwhelming or 'too much'. It's clear how much thought has gone into this journal and it really is a must-have for anyone on a self-love journey.
