Positive psychologists, who are also called Positive Psychology Practitioners, are significant in many different types of work settings. What Positive Psychologists do and the various roles they can play:

People who teach and educate:

Positive psychologists who work in schools make good places to learn by incorporating ideas about well-being into the lessons and encouraging students and teachers to be emotionally intense and build good character.

Coaches and Trainers: These professionals help people and groups find and use their strengths, set meaningful goals, and grow personally and professionally through coaching and training programmes.

Researchers: Some positive psychologists research to help the field learn more about happiness, positive feelings, and other related topics. Their results add to practices based on proof.

Managers and people in HR:

Positive psychologists may be in charge of business well-being programmes, develop and enforce policies that promote employee happiness and mental health, and teach leaders how to be better leaders.

Therapists and counsellors: Positive psychology is used in therapy and counselling sessions to help clients deal with stress, get through tough times, and build a positive attitude.

Psychologists and psychiatrists use positive psychology concepts, and stress approaches to mental health and well-being based on strengths in their clinical work.

Private practitioners and consultants: Some positive psychologists work as freelancers or consultants, providing services to people, groups, and communities, such as workshops, assessments, and custom well-being plans.

Volunteers and Community Leaders: Positive psychologists often give their time and skills to help local projects and improve the well-being of their communities.

Bridge Builders: Positive psychologists often connect Positive Psychology with other areas or disciplines, like sports, organisational development, or clinical psychology, to make well-being approaches that look at the whole person.

Specialists: Some positive psychologists focus on specific areas, such as positive corporate psychology, positive education, or positive sports psychology, making their skills more useful in those areas.

Psycho-educators teach their clients about the ideas and ideals of positive psychology, giving them the tools to improve their health.

Positive psychology interventionists use Positive Psychology treatments to help their clients become happier and grow.

System Designers and Facilitators: Positive psychologists help businesses create systems and procedures that, in a roundabout way, improve employees’ health and happiness at work.
