London Centre for
Positive Psychotherapy
About Us
At the London Centre for Positive Psychotherapy, our mission is clear: to provide accessible, tailored training and workshops in Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy (PPT) for individuals and professionals across the mental health and social care sectors.
Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy is a humanistic, psychodynamic, transcultural, resource-oriented, and conflict-centered therapeutic approach developed by Nossrat Peseschkian in the 1970s in Germany. This method, now practiced in over 60 training centers worldwide, is designed to support individuals, couples, and families in their journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Using stories, metaphors, role-play, and other creative techniques, PPT encourages clients to take an active role in their therapeutic process. It views individuals holistically, integrating the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The goal of therapy is to help clients uncover and develop their inner resources, fostering balance and well-being in their daily lives.
A key principle of Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy is its emphasis on the transcultural. In an increasingly interconnected world shaped by urbanization, population growth, and cultural exchange, understanding a person’s environmental, social, political, religious, and linguistic context is essential to understanding their identity. By recognizing the influence of these factors, PPT helps clients navigate the complexities of their lives with greater clarity and resilience.
