View profilePositive psychology helps people identify the strengths, values, habits and relationships that support wellbeing in daily life. It is not about denying pain or forcing a positive attitude. Instead, it focuses on what helps a person feel more grounded, capable, connected and aligned with what matters to them.
This approach may be useful for people experiencing stress, burnout, low self-esteem, loss of motivation, life transitions or questions around meaning and purpose. It can help a person move beyond simply coping and start rebuilding a more sustainable sense of direction.
In sessions, the work may include identifying personal strengths, clarifying values, exploring what gives energy or creates exhaustion, building self-compassion, setting realistic goals and developing habits that support emotional balance. A therapist may use reflective questions, journaling, gratitude practices, strengths exercises or small actions to test between sessions. The aim is not to ignore difficult emotions, but to understand how the person can be supported while those emotions are present.
Positive psychology can be used on its own or integrated with other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, mindfulness or integrative therapy. It may be especially helpful when someone wants to rebuild confidence, reconnect with purpose, recover from emotional exhaustion or make choices that feel more coherent with their values.
This content is educational and does not replace a personalised assessment. If symptoms are severe, persistent or linked to immediate risk, it is important to contact a qualified professional or an emergency service.
Intense work rhythms, a demanding housing search and long grey winters are part of life in Berlin, and they are among the reasons people turn to positive psychology. Sessions use exercises on strengths, gratitude, goals and values, alongside space to talk about what is hard.
You can look for a therapist who works in English, German, Russian or Ukrainian; each profile lists the languages spoken. Insurance cover for this kind of session varies in Germany, so it is worth asking your insurer before you start. A first session is a chance to discuss your goals and decide together whether positive psychology is the right approach for you.

Positive Psychology is a therapeutic approach used to help people understand their difficulties, build practical tools, and move toward more stable wellbeing.
Your therapist will adapt the pace and focus of sessions to your needs, goals, and current situation.
Positive Psychology can be used for a range of emotional, relational, behavioral, or stress-related concerns depending on the therapist’s training.
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€140 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
If no therapist is listed yet for this therapy, you can still explore related approaches and pathologies on the site.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both. Each profile shows the formats offered. Online sessions are also a way to keep the same therapist if you move or travel.
Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
