“I’d never talk to anyone else the way I talk to myself.”

I hear this often: your negative, saboteur voices have drowned out your supportive, sage voices.

The result?

You’re being bullied by the worst bully in the world - the one who knows all your deepest fears and insecurities.

Your confidence crashes and feelings of failure grow. Imposter syndrome sets in. Anxiety spirals. Your sleep, health and relationships suffer.

Last week the world lost a brilliant and inspirational human rights academic, barrister and author. : Professor Connor Gearty.

For one brief year he was my tutor. I remember his charisma, his kindness, his humour, his red socks... and what he told us in our first lecture about what 'Human Rights' means: Dignity.

I can't fight great, global injustices - although I daily thank and celebrate those who do. What I can do is help you get your dignity back if your work has taken it away from you. I can help you see that it's not you; that you're not stupid, not wrong and you're not broken.
