Positive Psychology Training


Welcome to the website!

We are experts in positive psychology, drawing on the science to create programmes to increase wellbeing, strengthen resilience, develop a positive mindset and other ingredients that lead to happiness and success. Under the Training tab you’ll find two menus showing you the kind of courses we offer. The Wellbeing menu has a range of options for greater wellbeing. The Work menu covers the in-house training we deliver into organisations to help people perform at their best, achieve their goals and maintain their wellbeing at work.

Positive Psychology Training was founded by Miriam Akhtar MAPP in 2010 to put positive psychology into practice through training and coaching and has since become one of the leading providers in the UK. Our clients range across the business and not-for-profit sectors along with social enterprises and include healthcare, financial services, the creative industries, education, green business, environment, defence, law and the media. The focus is on how positive psychology can support people to develop greater wellbeing and resilience in their personal and professional lives. We provide a scientifically-based solution to many of the challenges that organisations face.

We have also delivered short, open courses combining the essential knowledge and practical tools of positive psychology to thousands of participants online and in person. The Positive Psychology Masterclass ran for ten successful years with a foundations course on personal wellbeing and an advanced course on positive psychology at work. The Positive Psychology Foundations is based on the PERMA model of wellbeing and is now available as a recorded course to download with webinars, videos and other resources.

There’s lots of options on this site that we can tailor to your purposes. Please get in touch with Miriam  to discuss your training and coaching needs.
