About this subject
In this subject, the usefulness, relevance and relationship of coaching and positive psychology to counselling will be explored. Positive psychology emphasises the importance of finding meaning, purpose and a sense of accomplishment and moves away from focusing in what is clinically wrong. Students will review positive psychology’s contribution as an approach to the ‘helping relationship’, including exploration of conflicting viewpoints and their respective empirical support. As part of their exploration of the key positive psychology theorists, students will begin to develop an understanding of how they can synthesise coaching work into their potential coaching practice. They will learn a range of particular coaching skills, including solution‐ focused and strengths‐based approaches, explore goal setting for personal and professional use. This subject will balance theory and practice in its delivery and students will be encouraged to engage in interactive learning through discussion and experiential practice.
