Welcome to the Lab.

The Positive Coaching Lab was established in 2022 in response to the growing evidence for the role of psychological factors in optimising health and wellbeing.

We are located in the School of Applied Psychology in University College Cork, Ireland.

The lab is made up of a team of passionate lecturers, doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students who conduct research on a variety of topics related to human flourishing.

Our research focuses on the integration of the positive and coaching psychology. This particular lab is committed to providing a safe space where inquisitive minds can explore and conceptualise truly fascinating subjects such as wellbeing, gratitude, love, empathy, resilience, hope, emotions, health, stress, depression, spirituality, mindfulness, etc.

The Positive Coaching Lab is devoted to the cultivation of happiness and fulfilment for all individuals. This can only be achieved through an integrated perspective on health – promoting physical, psychological and spiritual wellbeing.

At the heart of our vision for the world is a society in which everyone enjoys a good quality of life and feels fulfilled in their daily lifestyles.

We are proud to be an Institutional Sponsor of the following academic journals:
