Positive Psychology
Positive psychology is a scientific field that focuses on the study of positive human experiences, strengths, and virtues that contribute to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Unlike traditional psychology, which often concentrates on mental illness and dysfunction, positive psychology aims to understand and enhance the factors that lead to wellbeing and optimal functioning.

When I went to therapy I didn't know what to expect and in fact I was a little apprehensive about speaking to a stranger. But Cecilia's encouraging and supportive demeanour, her non-judgemental approach and her world of knowledge made each session very fulfilling and such a joy that I always looked forward to the next session. I now go to her meditation groups which are just as supportive and fun. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone.
