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.

| Remember when you were really happy? Remember that fun thing you did last year? Remember last weekend when you got to do exactly what you pleased? Reminiscing over past events can boost positive emotion. Recall how good you felt at the time, savour the experience and relive the moment. You can share your experiences with those that were there, even those that were not, or allow yourself a private recollection. |

Teenagers who are not getting enough sleep run the risk of developing high blood pressure. This is according to research at Case Western Reserve University in the US. The study involved 238 13 to 16 year olds who kept sleep diaries as well as having their movements measured whilst they were in bed. Those teenagers who slept less than 6.5 hours a night were at twice the risk of suffering from high blood pressure, which increased to three times if their sleep was troubled. Teenagers generally need around 9 hours of sleep a night. |
