Positive Psychology Framework
Service Description
This approach is grounded in the PERMA model, which focuses on five core elements of wellbeing: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment. 🧠 1. Assessment & Case Formulation Start with a holistic intake: Psychological wellbeing (mood, stress, life satisfaction) Social connection and support systems Sense of meaning/purpose Goal progress and motivation Use brief validated tools where possible (e.g., wellbeing scales, values clarification exercises). 😊 2. Enhancing Positive Emotion (Happiness) Goal: Increase day-to-day positive affect Interventions: Gratitude journaling (3 things daily) Savoring exercises (mindful awareness of positive moments) Identifying and scheduling enjoyable activities 👉 Helps shift attention away from negativity bias and builds emotional resilience. 🎯 3. Engagement & Flow (Fulfilment) Goal: Help clients experience deep involvement in meaningful activities Interventions: Strengths identification (e.g., character strengths assessment) “Flow mapping” (identify activities where time feels absorbed) Structuring weekly routines around strengths 👉 Moves clients from passive living → active engagement. 🤝 4. Positive Relationships Goal: Improve connection, belonging, and support Interventions: Communication skills training (active listening, assertiveness) Acts of kindness or prosocial behaviour tasks Exploring relationship values and boundaries 👉 Strong relationships are one of the most consistent predictors of wellbeing. 🌱 5. Meaning & Purpose (Fulfilment) Goal: Strengthen sense of direction and life significance Interventions: Values clarification exercises Life narrative work (“What has shaped me?”) Linking daily actions to broader purpose 👉 Reinforces motivation and long-term satisfaction. 🧩 6. Ongoing Support & Integration Regular review sessions (track progress across all domains) 🔍 Research shows that wellbeing improves when multiple domains are targeted—not just symptoms. For example: Meaning and purpose are linked to better mental and physical health (e.g., Meaning in Life and Its Relationship to Well-Being). Positive relationships and accomplishments contribute to long-term life satisfaction. Positive psychology interventions can significantly improve wellbeing and reduce distress.
