Kimberley invites Dr Xand van Tulleken to open up about why he finds it so hard to accept himself. Together they talk through what self-acceptance means, and how you can take the empowering first steps to integrating the bits of yourself you don’t like with the bits that you do. Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health to help create more self-awareness and understanding.

She invites expert guests - trained psychologists, psychiatrists and psychotherapists - to join her and together they share insight and valuable tips.
