books
for your happiness and wellbeing.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 as well as a blog 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.
Make the Change is no longer providing online counselling. Feel free to take a look around the website however. New changes are coming in the next few months, including a guide for counsellors wanting to start their own online counselling business.
A recent review of the latest research that has investigated video games and their impact on children has concluded they are mostly harmless and can even be beneficial. The consensus appears to be that playing violent games only has a negative impact when the child has certain personality traits. Villanova University research in the US found the children most negatively influenced by video games were those who become easily emotional, depressed or upset, those who care little for the feelings of others and break rules and promises easily. Such children became more aggressive after playing. However, for the majority of children, research highlights them to have fewer behavioural problems, greater visual/spatial skills and scored better on standardised tests.
These findings were published in the journal Review of General Psychology.
Make the Change’s quarterly ezine provides you with articles and tips dedicated to your wellbeing and happiness. It includes recent research, relevant to wellbeing and good mental health, the findings of which I hope you will be able apply to your own life. Each issue includes a feature article to boost your wellbeing as well as one specifically aimed at promoting happiness. These articles are exclusive to the ezine and cannot be found elsewhere on the website.
