Together we will help you better understand your feelings and uncover sources of conflict in your life.

The relationship between therapist and client is a fundamental aspect to facilitating change, possibly more so than the theoretical background. When we begin a therapeutic relationship, I hope you will feel supported through a genuine connection, where you will feel safe to bring your story and all of you into the therapy hour. Together, we will work through issues, worries, crisis's, life events, or the challenges of long term conditions, as a team. We will work together to look for positive change, resolutions to emotional suffering, and perhaps acceptance.

Why suffer when something can be done about it? There is no such thing as "my problems aren't bad enough?". A difficulty is a difficulty, degree of difficulties does not matter -you do not have to suffer. If you feel sad, lost or anxious? Are struggling in your relationships with your spouse, children, friends or family? Are tired of being "stuck" or circling the same challenges over and over again? If you feel that there must be more to life? You deserve a different way of living, professional support can help to guide you through and move you forward.

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.
