Welcome to Wellbeing Illustrated!

Hi to anyone who has stumbled upon this blog!

About me:

My name is Alison and I have been fascinated how I can combine my experience in visual arts with my experience and studies in positive psychology, and this is the result! I have a graduate diploma in positive psychology as well as studies in arts, education and counselling. I am excited to share my knowledge and utilise this format to portray evidence-based Wellbeing concepts in a creative way.

These interventions are taken from peer reviewed articles and delivered in an understandable and easy to digest format, accompanied by hand painted illustrations.
