FAQ
Common questions.
What's the difference between self-love and self-esteem?
Self-love is your relationship with yourself: acceptance, compassion, embodied kindness. Self-esteem is how you evaluate yourself: worth, competence, comparison. This course works on the relational, embodied layer. Building Self-Esteem is its evaluative-thought companion.
Is this just affirmations and positive thinking?
No. The course is built on radical acceptance, body-based observation, and values-mapping, with affirmations as one small piece. The aim is a more honest, kinder relationship with yourself, not louder positive self-talk.
Will this work if I struggle with body image or dysphoria?
The course includes embodied work around noticing body sensations, which can be a sensitive area. The framing throughout is gentle and invitational. If dysphoria is your main focus, pair this with Managing Gender Dysphoria for more targeted support.
How long are the modules?
Each session is bite-sized, typically 10 to 20 minutes. The course is fully self-paced, so you can pause, return, and re-watch whenever feels useful.
What format is the course in?
Short therapist-led video sessions in the Kalda app, paired with reflective exercises you can do in-app or in your own notebook. Everything is private to you.
How much does Kalda cost?
One lifetime pass of £99 (normally £149) gives you access to this course and every other course in the Kalda library, forever. No subscriptions, no recurring fees, 14-day money-back guarantee.
Is Kalda only for LGBTQIA+ people?
Kalda is built by and for queer people, and the content assumes a queer reader. Anyone is welcome to take a course; the framing, examples and clinical context are written through a queer lens throughout.

Kalda is not a crisis service. If you are in crisis, please contact Samaritans (116 123), Shout (text "Shout" to 85258), or NHS 111. Our safeguarding page lists all routes.
