Collaborating with you is important to identify your strengths, resources, and challenges, and my background in positive psychology and wellbeing creates unique support.
Each person's journey toward well-being is unique, so I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you can explore your concerns and goals. Using an integrated approach to support you in achieving optimal mental and emotional health. Grounding evidence-based practices AND tailoring to your needs. I work with people of all ages and walks of life, but have extensive experience in positive parenting coaching, working with young people in high schools, and also in drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Caring is stressful, growing up can be tricky, and no one gets through life unscathed and without their own traumas.

Some of these include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, (DBT), Mindfulness, Values Exploration, Positive Psychology, Sand Tray Therapy, "What's the Buzz?", Rogerian Counselling, Cognitive Coaching, and Motivational strategies.
We specialise in helping individuals navigate through challenging experiences such as anxiety, stress, family and social concerns, depression, identity issues, bullying, and trauma. I believe that every person is inherently capable and possesses the potential for growth and success. Intelligence, personality, and character are not fixed—they evolve continuously, and each person’s true potential is limitless. The counselling relationship is unique; it provides a special way of ‘being with’ someone to support meaningful change, helping them feel better and discover new perspectives and behaviours.

Positive Psychology Counsellors
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.
When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviours differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.
Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
