Coaching and Positive Psychology - PSY963

Coaching is a relatively new and rapidly expanding approach to achieving rapid and lasting change. It has been enthusiastically embraced by practitioners, organisations and individuals and is used by Coaching, Organisational, Clinical, Health and Counselling Psychologists. This unit introduces students to the key theories and research underpinning coaching and positive psychology. It differentiates coaching from counselling, therapy, mentoring, consulting and training; identifies the limits of coaching, and how it can be used to augment existing approaches to individual and organisational change. Basic and advanced methods are taught via role plays, supervised practice and model coaching programs.
