Have you ever heard a voice in your head whisper…
“You’re not good enough.”
“You’re too slow.”
“They’re doing better than you.”
“You’re too fat… too thin… too tall… too short.”
“You’re too rich… too poor.”
If you’re a dentist, dental nurse, therapist, or practice manager, I know you’ve probably heard these voices too—those persistent inner critics who love to chip away at your confidence, compare you to others, and leave you doubting your worth.
For the last 20 years, I’ve been offering therapeutic coaching to support members of the dental profession, and in that time, I’ve seen a sharp rise in the number of people feeling mentally unwell and unable to cope at work..
Burnout, anxiety, depression, and a loss of confidence are becoming increasingly common—and the voice of the inner critic is often at the root.
I’ve worked with clinicians and team members who feel like they’ve “lost their mojo”. Some want to leave their job. Others are ready to leave dentistry altogether.
But here’s the truth no one tells you:
If the critical voice lives in your head, it comes with you.
You can change jobs. You can change careers. But if the inner critic isn’t dealt with, it contaminates your next move too.
How Do I Know? Because I’ve Been There.
I used to call my own inner critic “Tut-Tut”.
What most people don’t know is that my mental health challenges began when I was five years old. I was referred to a therapist because I was self-harming. Later, I experienced multiple episodes of depression, was signed off dental school three times, attempted suicide, and as a practice owner, I was on high doses of medication that weren’t working.

The Turning Point? Therapeutic Coaching.
What years of therapy and medication couldn’t resolve, therapeutic coaching did—quickly and permanently.
In one powerful session, my inner critic Tut-Tut was silenced.
Not managed. Not minimised. Gone.
And with that came a clear head, a calm body, and the ability to build a fulfilling career and life. I’ve been drug-free and crisis-free ever since.
From childhood therapy at age five due to self-harming, to three mental health breakdowns at dental school, to years of medication that didn’t work… I’ve been there.
Therapeutic coaching changed everything.
That inner voice? Gone.
The depression? Gone.
The medication? No longer needed.
If you’re struggling with confidence, anxiety, burnout, or feeling stuck—there’s a way forward. And it can be fast, lasting, drug-free, and completely safe.
My wish is that you find the peace of mind that I did.
