Welcome to Positive Psychology Melbourne 

Offices in Melbourne CBD and Brighton East

Positive Psychology is not about being or thinking 'positive', but about what we say 'yes' to - our values, strengths, goals, aspirations and what really matters in our lives

Positive Psychology is the name scientists have given to this new branch of psychology, which focuses on the study and practice of what makes people flourish. (The name is not a marketing gimmick).

For survival reasons, our brains are inherently biased towards noticing pain and danger. This bias makes us take far more notice of risks, problems and things that are wrong. We end up focusing our energy on what we say 'no' to. Positive Psychology aims at correcting this bias by learning to focus on what we say 'yes' to.

I integrate this approach into my COUNSELLING and WORKSHOPS. My particular interest is RELATIONSHIPS - with oneself and with others. The research shows that this is the most important contributor to one's well-being.

How will you benefit from our work? By learning to look through different eyes at your self, at others and at various life events. To learn more about my counselling approach please click  HERE.

I look forward to helping you tap into strengths that will help you cope better and flourish.
