Welcome to Positive Psychology Melbourne 


Hi! I am Hagai 'Guy' Avisar, a psychologist, and I would like to introduce you to Positive Psychology and how it can make a difference to you.

The first thing you should know is that this is the name scientists have given to the study and practice of what makes people flourish. So it is not just a marketing gimmick.

The second thing to know is that Positive Psychology is not about being or thinking 'positive', but about what we say 'yes' to. For survival reasons, our brain is 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 - our values, strengths, goals, aspirations and what really matters in our lives.

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

You can learn more about me and my approach HERE.

To familiarise yourself with the material of what leads to a flourishing life you may want to download STRENGTHS and Five Ways to Well-Being. 

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