Positive psychology has its roots in humanistic psychology, which emerged in the twentieth century as a reaction to the focus on pathology within mainstream therapies. Rather than analysing psychological problems, these branches are concerned with human well-being and flourishing. It is, therefore, not surprising that coaching is often described as 'applied positive psychology'.
Theories and techniques of positive psychology are used within coaching sessions in order to assist people to
* build positive relationships
* enhance self-regulation
* create self-concordant goals
* get into a 'flow' state
* explore meaning and purpose
* identify and use personal strengths
* train attention
* form healthy behaviours
Human diversity is extraordinary. At Apricity, a 'one-size-fits-all' approach is never taken. Any interventions adopted by clients are the result of collaborative dialogue, and a nuanced approach to their unique situation.
