ICF Level 2 Positive Psychology Coaching Certification
One of Only Two ICF Level 2 Positive Psychology Programs in the World
Three professional capabilities exist nowhere else in ICF coaching: Level 2 accreditation in Positive Psychology. Psychological archetypes integration. Proprietary AstroCoaching methodology.
We are the only program offering all three.
This 12-month elite professional development program serves corporate leaders elevating their impact, entrepreneurs building coaching capability, psychologists enhancing their practice, and professionals establishing coaching careers.
What Sets Us Apart
Three Distinctions No Other Programme Can Claim
01
One of Two ICF Level 2 Positive Psychology Programmes Globally
ICF Level 2 ACTP (Accredited Coach Training Programme) accreditation qualifies you for the PCC (Professional Certified Coach) credential, the global standard for professional coaching excellence. Level 1 programmes qualify graduates for ACC (Associate Certified Coach). The distinction matters significantly in professional contexts.
Positive Psychology specialisation grounds your coaching in the science of human flourishing, integrating ancient wisdom with modern research. You master an approach drawing from positive psychology, cognitive science, strengths-based methodologies, and narrative psychology to work with the full spectrum of human experience, from cultivating peak performance to dismantling the saboteur, inner critic, and impostor syndrome.
Why Level 2 Certification Matters Professionally:
Higher Earning Potential: PCC coaches typically charge 40-60% higher fees than ACC-level coaches.
Corporate Credibility: Organisations hiring coaches prefer or require PCC certification.
Global Recognition: Your credential is valued by clients and employers worldwide.
Professional Positioning: Level 2 certification demonstrates serious professional commitment from day one.
Rigorous Standards: 125+ hours of training and extensive mentoring ensure genuine competence.
Only two programmes worldwide combine ICF Level 2 accreditation with Positive Psychology specialisation. We are one of them.
02
The Only ICF Programme Integrating Psychological Archetypes
Traditional coaching teaches powerful questioning. We teach you to decode the psychological architecture shaping how people think, lead, and perform under pressure.
Psychological archetypes are recurring identity patterns governing behaviour and decision-making. The Perfectionist. The Imposter. The Saboteur. The Performer. The Overthinker. These are not personality labels. They are adaptive roles the nervous system develops in response to environment, expectation, and experience.
Our methodology draws from depth psychology, neuroscience, and identity development to help you identify which archetypal patterns operate in your clients and guide conscious evolution at the identity level.
This creates transformations traditional coaching methods cannot achieve.
03
Proprietary AstroCoaching Methodology Taught Nowhere Else
We have developed exclusive assessment tools mapping dominant archetypal patterns across identity, leadership, and life cycles. These proprietary frameworks give you repeatable, client-ready systems for your first coaching session and every session after.
For corporate leaders: Sophisticated psychological insight enhances your leadership capability.
For entrepreneurs: Coaching mastery elevates your business and collaboration potential.
For psychologists: Coaching methodology integrating with your therapeutic expertise.
For professional coaches: Differentiation is unavailable to coaches trained elsewhere.
This methodology exists only within Rise & Thrive programmes
"As a CEO, I did not come here to become a coach. I came to become a better leader. The psychological archetypes framework transformed how I understand my team and navigate organisational dynamics. This is the most sophisticated leadership development I have experienced."
Sarah Russell, CEO | Technology Sector

"Here is what nobody tells you about building a coaching practice: all the business training in the world is worthless if you do not believe you deserve success. I spent $30,000 on marketing courses, business coaching, and sales training before Rise & Thrive. I had the knowledge. I had the systems. What I did not have was the internal foundation to execute without self-sabotage. This programme addresses what others ignore: the psychological patterns that keep you playing small. The archetypes methodology helped me dismantle 20 years of limiting beliefs in 12 months. I had my ROI within six weeks of certification. This is not traditional coach training. This is the transformation that makes everything else work."
Michael Shepherd, PCC | Former Finance Executive
