The complementary nature of positive psychology and coaching psychology has long been recognised by both
researchers and practitioners. The last decade saw a tenfold increase of articles relating to positive psychology
coaching and even more literature attempting to apply some of the findings from positive psychology in a
coaching practice. However, despite the interest and the complexity of both fields, there is a lack of systematic
approach to this new practice. The current paper introduces the Conceptual Framework for Positive
Psychology Coaching Practice, the aim of which is to offer advice to both practitioners and researchers of the
elements necessary to exist, in order to practise positive psychology coaching, as well as inform the policy and
curriculum of programmes teaching positive psychology coaching in third level education
