Are You Happy Yet?
The Westernised idea of happiness suggests that it is a goal to be chased relentlessly, an ultimate state of being that, once achieved, will bring enduring contentment.
This page is set up to provide further support and further reading should you wish.
We have included signpost information/details to other organisations which may be able to provide you with different support.
We also include a blog link to written ponderings from our founder and Lead Therapist -these are updated regularly, so do check back.
Furthermore, if there is a specific topic you would like to learn more about, regarding Mental Health, Psychology or general well-being, please contact us to request this information - we believe in the power of Psychoeducation, and we would love to spread this movement as widely as possible!

Manual Please?
For a moment, take a step-back and imagine if life and parenthood came with an instruction manual, a handy guide that would unravel the mysteries of what choices to make, when to act, how to navigate the twists and turns of our own existence, living alongside societal judgements and expectations, not to mention the minefield of navigation through relationships with strangers, let alone our own loved ones!
