 Make the Change offers you an online counselling service by a qualified counsellor. The aim is to provide you with counselling that is accessible, convenient and secure. For your convenience, a number of formats are available, giving you the choice of text, voice or video counselling as well as a secure problem page which you can submit to.
Counselling provides you with an opportunity to work through everyday life problems in a safe environment, free from judgement and bias. We will work together on a one-to-one basis towards your chosen goals. Counselling can assist you in many ways and is a beneficial means of enhancing self-awareness and encouraging personal growth.
As your counsellor, I am keen to provide information to enhance wellbeing and promote good mental health. You will therefore find a number of articles and news items that I think will interest. I also have a section devoted to positive change where I offer you a weekly tip that you can use in your life. You can also subscribe to Happy Mails, which are based on positive psychology principles, with the hope to increase your happiness.

| Each time you take a step closer to your intended goal, give yourself a reward. It can be anything you want it to be, so long as it does not hinder you reaching the goal. Just giving yourself a pat on the back is a great reward. |

Older people are more content with their social lives than their younger counterparts, according to research conducted by von Hippel published in the journal Psychology and Ageing. They seem to be better able to live in the moment, rather than wondering what's coming next. Although people over 60 socialised less than the under 30s, they were as satisfied with their social lives as the younger group. If the young were to live as the old, perhaps they would pause to smell the roses and relish the here and now. |
