Rihanna was so nervous before a recent UK performance that she hired a life coach to help her boost her self esteem.
According to a source, the 26-year-old singer was extremely nervous before her London's Westfield Stratford City gig because of the pressure and saw psychologist Natalie Thomas, the Mirror reported.
The source said that Thomas told the Bajan beauty how to cope and gave her a few techniques and tricks for dealing with the stress, and on building up her confidence.
The insider added that Thomas also helped restore Rihanna's self-esteem and shed her inner critic.
