Jack came to LisboaCounselling with no big expectations. His relationship with his grown-up children was very difficult.  
And this was just one more thing to try. But in a few months of working together, his family relationships totally changed.  

Listen to his testimony.

It's the little things that make the difference. Small actions, more positive communication, can greatly change a relationship. They can help turn a tense and stressful relationship into a light-hearted and pleasant one.

Well-being doesn't happen by itself. It needs to be cultivated. And regularly.

This habit, this discipline of promoting your well-being, will not only help you to function better in everything you do, but it will also prevent the accumulation of exhaustion which, if you don't take care of it, could lead to some kind of breakdown.
