A Positive Start CIC is dedicated to fostering emotional healing, safety, and growth through trauma-informed, person-centred approaches. We provide counselling, psychotherapy, psycho-education, and social-emotional learning (SEL) in both individual and group settings, face-to-face and online. By honouring lived experience and empowering those impacted by adversity, exclusion, or trauma, we help individuals reconnect with themselves and their communities. Through therapy, creative education, peer mentoring, collaborative projects, and community initiatives, we promote nervous system regulation, self-worth, and lifelong resilience—supporting people not only to recover, but to thrive.
