My Final Achievement

I'm embarking on a journey most of us avoid thinking about, facing death openly, with curiosity and dignity. At 73, I've realised that approaching life's final stage as my ultimate achievement transforms fear into acceptance, and anxiety into meaningful living. Inspired by my parents' courageous examples, I'm exploring how embracing mortality might teach us to truly live well. Join me on this reflective, honest, and surprisingly uplifting exploration. It's all on the table, check it out

Psychology

Psychology is the study of the mind, behaviour and interaction. Research in psychology is based on scientific method (testing the null hypothesis). Psychology encompasses a wide range of topics, including cognition, learning, motivation, perception, development, personality, and mental health.

How Psychology Can Help...

In practical terms, psychology can make a difference with human issues around stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment, pain management and self-esteem.

Mental health issues may stem from a number of factors to do with mind and body. From a mind perspective we might be addressing stressors, trauma, grief, self-esteem, etc. From the body perspective you could be facing nutritional or biochemical imbalances and/or toxins. A psychologist will work with you to understand your unique symptoms and underlying causes, and can explore an integrative approach, if that’s your preference, to support your recovery in the most effective way.
