LIFE IN BALANCE
Positive Psychotherapy (PPT)
Positive Psychotherapy, developed by Nossrat Peseschkian in Wiesbaden, Germany, is a psychodynamic approach that integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic theory, and systemic therapy. This integrative model allows flexibility to address a wide range of issues.
​
Rooted in positive psychology, it views people as having inherent strengths that can lead them back to emotional well-being. Symptoms are explored in the context of the person’s whole life story, uncovering their deeper meaning and purpose. While humans have natural self-protection mechanisms, these can sometimes become complicated, leading to distress.
​
The goal of therapy is to help clients gain self-awareness, understand their true needs, explore their potential for growth, and find the best path forward.
