Course overview
Master Positive Psychology Coaching
This course aims to consolidate students’ learning into a practice based course to turn coaching practice into positive psychology coaching (PPC). Students will accumulate 40 hours of practice with their own clients, and build a portfolio of evidence to support and reflect their learning.
In the online sessions, students will receive ongoing peer and tutor mentoring and supervision which will help them to determine their own evidence-based, PPC coaching style. The sessions will enable students to reflect on, discuss, practice and observe Positive Psychology Coaching.
The themes that have been explored in the Applied Practice of Positive Psychology Coaching will guide this practice, and allow students to gain extra depth of understanding and practice. Students will also be encouraged to explore new evidence based approaches, tools and techniques.
The use of both case studies and real life coaching challenges will help to increase confidence and competence in skills, and provide an opportunity for students to reflect on their practice to aid their learning.
