London Centre for
Positive Psychotherapy
About Us
Here at the London Centre for Positive Psychotherapy, we are driven by a single goal, to offer accessible and personalized Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy training and workshops for the general public and to those of varying levels of expertise within the mental health and social care sectors. Our courses, training, and workshops are run in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and other locations across the UK.
Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (more about PPT) is a Transcultural, Humanistic, Psychodynamic, resource-oriented, and conflict-centered psychotherapeutic method for individuals, couples, and families. It was developed by Nossrat Peseschkian in the '70s in Germany and today there are more than twenty training centers worldwide.
Through the use of stories, metaphors, role-play, and various other creative techniques the patient is encouraged to play an active role in their healing process. Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy believes that every human being is an entity of body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and the therapeutic process aims to help the client discover and develop resources and find balance in his daily life.
In Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy, focusing on the Transcultural is essential. The changes in our environment, urbanization, population growth, etc. have made it possible for national, ethnic, and cultural groups to open up to the world (i.e. to other groups). A person’s context (environmental, social-cultural, political, religious, and linguistic) is an important part of the development of their identity, and to understand identity one needs to understand the context.
