Buddhist Psychology

Psychological Tools for Balancing Emotions

Overcome stress, anxiety and depression and learn how to cultivate positive habits and inner happiness.

Using Buddhist psychology and the latest findings and techniques from neuroscience to calm the mind and heal the heart. The Buddhist science of the mind can cut through to the very root of our misery and fear, to reveal the innate goodness and peace at the heart of our being.

Unhappiness is not the problem, it is a symptom of of being out of balance, and especially of a distorted way that we conceive of ourselves. By developing a realistic appreciation of our innate human qualities, we will naturally overcome our fears and become happier.

  • “I came along to the Four Attitudes for Happiness workshop and am so glad I did. Thank you so much for the beautiful space, and thanks to Carolyn for all the material and teachings. I got a lot out of the day and hope my new ‘daily habits’ will stay will me!”

  • “I attended your Cultivating Happiness course on the weekend and would like to share with you my appreciation on the amazing results I have had in such a short time. I have had a deep and meaningful conversation with my Mother In-law after many months of conflict, I found something we had in common and WOW!! In one conversation our friendship is on the mend. Thoughts now go to my other relationships and improving those…”
