About The Phoenix Project

​

The Phoenix Project is a Buckinghamshire based organisation which designs and delivers a combination of Positive Psychology coaching and Social and Therapeutic Horticulture programmes. 

​

The Phoenix Project was set up to support people who may not otherwise be able to access these services, and to bring together the amazing things that happen when Positive Psychology and Horticulture are combined.

​

​

What is Positive Psychology coaching?

​

Positive Psychology focuses on helping individuals and communities to thrive. It can help us to think about ways to become more resilient to life's challenges, how we can work with our own potential, and how we can be happier in our day-to-day lives.

​

Despite what many people think, it is not about being "happy all of the time" or avoiding difficult feelings, but about balancing the bad with the good.

​

What is Social and Therapeutic Horticulture?

Social and Therapeutic Horticulture (STH) uses gardening-based work to support individuals and groups with their physical and mental health, develop within their community and learn more about themselves and others.

​​

​

The Phoenix Project focuses on where Positive Psychology and STH can be combined to create a powerful force for change and growth.

The project is based on the key values of authenticity, balance and forward motion.​
