Your Starting Point
Who this programme is designed for.
This programme is for coaches who have already completed their ACC certification and are ready to work at depth.
Level 2 is where you build on that foundation and move into the advanced methodology, psychological depth, and specialist practice that define coaching at the PCC level.
This is for coaches who have done the foundational work and are ready for what comes next. The depth beneath the foundation. The psychology beneath the behaviour. And the science of human flourishing.
The Positive Psychology Difference
Not an add-on. The Architecture of Everything
There are hundreds of ICF-accredited coaching programmes in the world. Many of them are competent. Some of them are excellent. What they share, almost universally, is that positive psychology is either absent or treated as optional enrichment.
Here, it is neither.
Positive psychology is the science of human flourishing: what enables people not merely to manage their difficulties but to live with genuine engagement, resilience, purpose, and meaning. At the Level 2 programme, it is not a module you will complete and move on from. It is the lens through which every evidence-based framework, every psychological approach, and every specialist niche is taught and applied.
When you work with CBT in Module 4, you are learning it through the question positive psychology asks: not just how do we reduce what is unhelpful, but how do we build what is genuinely generative? When you move through depth psychology, narrative coaching, and solution-focused approaches in Module 5, they are not presented as competing schools of thought. They are taught as complementary instruments for facilitating what the science identifies as the conditions for flourishing.
The masterclasses go further still. The Psychology of the Unconscious, The Flourishing Code, and The Quantum Coach are each built around a central positive psychology insight: that sustainable transformation requires working not just with behaviour or belief, but with the whole architecture of how a person understands themselves.
When organisations engage PCC-credentialed coaches for executive and leadership work, they are looking for someone who understands the psychology of high performance. What builds resilience that lasts. What creates genuine engagement rather than compliance. What allows a leader to think clearly under pressure rather than defaulting to their most defended patterns. That is the territory positive psychology gives you fluency in.
No other ICF-accredited programme in the world delivers this at this depth.
The What
Four modules. Three masterclasses. Twelve Community Coaching Labs.
Four advanced modules that take you through the major psychological approaches, evidence-based frameworks, and specialist niches that define coaching at the PCC level. Each module builds on the last, deepening your capacity to coach at the identity level with genuine psychological rigour. Positive psychology is not a standalone topic in any of these modules. It is the connective thread that runs through all of them.
Module Four
04
CBT, Emotional Intelligence and Mindfulness
This module equips you to coach at the level of thought itself. You will work with the essentials of cognitive behavioural therapy and the power of thought in shaping behaviour, learning to recognise automatic thoughts, rumination, and the limiting beliefs that quietly run a client's life. You will develop skill in cognitive reframing, integrate mindfulness into your coaching practice, and learn how emotional intelligence and positive habit formation become practical tools for client transformation.
The Positive Psychology Thread
The reframe that makes CBT genuinely generative in a coaching context. You are not just helping clients reduce unhelpful thinking. You are helping them understand the cognitive patterns that block flourishing and build the ones that enable it. That distinction changes everything about how you work.
Module Five
05
Psychology of Coaching
This is where you learn the psychological approaches that inform modern coaching practice. You will move through person-centred coaching, gestalt coaching, personal construct psychology, solution-focused brief coaching, and narrative coaching. You will also be taken into the foundations of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and learn how acceptance and commitment translate into live coaching practice. Each approach is taught not as theory, but as a lens you can actually coach through.
The Positive Psychology Thread
The organising framework that allows these approaches to be integrated rather than fragmentary. You will understand not just what each approach does, but how it connects to the broader science of what allows people to grow, recover, and live with genuine meaning.
Module Six
06
Specialist Niches I: Corporate and Business
This module gives you the frameworks and the language to work with clients in high-stakes organisational contexts. Performance, executive, leadership, and business coaching each require a specific kind of depth, and you will learn to work across all four. You will be introduced to the ACE model, the implications wheel, GAP analysis, and the practice of coaching executive accountability, with the integration of positive psychology into corporate settings throughout.
The Positive Psychology Thread
The foundation that separates a coach who understands business from one who can genuinely transform how leaders operate. You will be able to speak the language of performance and engagement, connect those outcomes to the evidence on what actually drives them, and coach at the level where real change in leadership behaviour happens.
Module Seven
07
Specialist Niches II: Life and Wellbeing
Life coaching, health and wellness coaching, career coaching, relationship coaching. This module gives you the frameworks to work across all of them, including the stages of change and how to coach a client through transition rather than around it. And as with everything in this programme, positive psychology is the thread that runs through every niche, giving you the depth to work across the domains of life where people most often seek coaching support.
The Depth
Three masterclasses that exist exclusively at Level 2.
The masterclasses are premium deep-dive sessions that connect the theoretical content of the modules to the positive psychology philosophy that defines this programme. They are where the science becomes personal.
Masterclass One
The Psychology of the Unconscious
This masterclass takes you into the 95 versus 5 percent model of conscious and unconscious processing. You will work with Freudian levels of consciousness, Jungian archetypes and the shadow, the saboteur and the ego as coaching frameworks, and the conditioning of belief that shapes identity. You will explore how state, emotion, and physiology become coaching tools, and how your presence as a coach shapes the entire coaching environment.
Masterclass Two
The Flourishing Code
Why does achievement alone never produce lasting happiness? This masterclass works through the evidence base behind that question, from the hedonic adaptation treadmill to Fredrickson's Broaden-and-Build theory, flow and optimal experience, and the science of gratitude, savouring, and positive emotion practices. You will learn to coach through the four detrimental happiness patterns and work with strengths at depth, including how they show up in shadow and overuse.
Masterclass Three
The Quantum Coach
This masterclass reframes coaching through six quantum principles and challenges the assumption that the coach is an outside observer. You will explore why transformation is non-linear, develop quantum coaching questions for live practice, apply quantum coaching psychology in high-performance and executive contexts, and learn what it means to coach the mind as a quantum processor.
The Practice
Twelve live coaching labs. Where theory becomes practice.

Community Coaching Labs are not lectures. Each is a live, structured coaching practice session where you apply the theory from the modules in a facilitated group environment.
The modules give you the theory. The masterclasses give you the depth. The CCLs are where you practise the deeper psychological frameworks. Across twelve sessions, you will work through every major framework and competency the programme covers, building the applied skill that comes from repeated practice.

From People Who Have Been Where You Are
The words that matter most are not ours.
You get a lot more than what you bargained for, in the best way possible. You’re not just learning how to be a coach. You’re also going through that transformation. There is a really massive investment in you and you grow tremendously from it.
I didn’t know what to expect. It felt more like a calling. I really didn’t realise how much you’d be coached yourself and change internally.
Lora Courtois
I can honestly say you will come out a different person to the one that initially walked in the door. I am so excited that I am now going to have the opportunity to take other people on their own journey of discovery.
