Dr Kaur Therapy Helping you Conquer your Inner Critic - Online Only - 1:1 Therapy & Group programme for work anxiety

I am a British born Punjabi Sikh female who specialises in helping people manage their hidden hurts. I work in a trauma informed way as I believe that our life experiences impact who we are and how we show up in the world. I see clients I work with being held in a certain point in their lives unable to move forward due to some unhelpful beliefs they have. So in a rapidly changing world, I want to help people move through those blocks so live life according to their values rather than limited by their past.

“How are you?” doesn’t cut it anymore.

Most people reply “I’m fine” when they’re not.

Here’s the reality:

🧠 7,055 people died by su***de in the UK last year
📅 That’s 19 lives lost every single day
😔 Most showed no visible signs
😶 Most never reached out for help
💔 Most left behind people who wish they’d checked in sooner

It’s not always the loud cry for help.

Sometimes it’s silence.
Sometimes it’s that friend who seems busy and “okay.”
Sometimes it’s you.

So what can you actually do, this week, in under 10 minutes?

👉 Reach out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.
Not with gossip.
Not with small talk.
Not with “hey, long time no see.”

Try:
"Thinking of you today. How are you really doing?"

This one message can interrupt a downward spiral.
This one moment can remind someone they’re not alone.

And don’t forget yourself either.

Ask:
🧩 What stories am I telling myself today?
🪞 Would I speak to a friend the way I speak to myself?
🤍 Where can I be kinder to my mind?

You don’t have to fix everything.
But you do have to try.

One real check-in can save a life.
Maybe even yours.

When we grow up between cultures, we start to notice the spaces in-between.

Family vs. World

At home, we were told one thing. Outside, the rules were different. We carried the weight of both. We knew they shouldn’t mix.

Language vs. Silence

We translated words, feelings, even emotions. Speaking one way at home, another way at school. Sometimes that gift made us proud. Other times, it left us feeling split, not quite sure where we belonged.

Belonging vs. Nowhere

We belonged everywhere and nowhere at once. Familiar in both spaces, fully claimed by neither.

Strength vs. Ache

These gaps gave us resilience and empathy. But they also left invisible bruises, the constant adjusting, the unspoken exhaustion of never fully landing.

The Therapy Gap

When we talk about the therapy gap, it isn’t only about access to services. It’s about these unseen spaces that shaped us and hindered the growth of our authentic selves, the gaps in identity, in safety, in being truly seen.

💭 Which “gap” shaped you most? And what would it feel like to have a space where we don’t need to translate or shrink?

✨ Our free guide, You Are Not Too Much - You Are Unlearning the Noise, is about naming those spaces and beginning to build safety within.

So many of us were taught that confidence is about performance: being louder in the room, collecting achievements, polishing the façade so nobody sees the cracks.

Add race to the mix, and migration and confidence and success are hard-wired into the very core. Education - job - status.

But if you’ve lived with trauma or imposter syndrome, those rules don’t free you; they trap you.

They keep you hustling, proving, and pretending… while inside you’re still waiting to feel “enough.”

So I’d like to ask you:

✨ Have you ever noticed how your confidence collapses the moment you make a mistake?
✨ Do you find yourself preparing endlessly, just so no one can “catch you out”?
✨ Or do you stay quiet in meetings, telling yourself you’ll speak up when you finally feel ready, but that day never comes?

These aren’t signs of weakness.
They’re signs of a nervous system shaped by old experiences, doing its best to protect you.
Real confidence doesn’t come from pushing harder; it comes from building safety inside yourself so you can show up authentically.

* Confidence is not something you’re born with or without.

It’s something you can relearn.

If this resonates, I share more reflections like this in my newsletter - gentle prompts, insights, and trauma-informed strategies to help you rebuild self-trust.
