The Real Story Behind PPFL

I founded Positive Psychology for Life because I was tired of seeing wellbeing treated as a luxury, a buzzword, or worse - something that only happens in perfect conditions.

Mental health isn't a "nice-to-have." It's as fundamental as physical health. Everyone has it. Everyone benefits from caring for it. And everyone deserves access to tools that actually work.

​

But here's what makes this personal:

I'm not just a psychologist who studied this stuff in textbooks (though I did - and then taught it as a Senior Lecturer and now Doctorate Supervisor at Birkbeck, University of London). I'm someone who's walked the tightrope of modern life: building a business, raising children, supporting clients, leading teams, and yes - sometimes feeling like I'm falling short in all of it.

​

That's why my approach is different. It's grounded in science, but shaped by reality. It's evidence-based, but deeply human. And it works for people in the messy middle of life, not just in ideal conditions.

​

My Background:

• Applied Psychologist specializing in positive psychology, wellbeing, and human flourishing

• Former Senior Lecturer in Psychology, United Kingdom

• Doctorate Supervisor at Birkbeck, University of London, shaping the next generation of occupational psychologists

• Corporate Wellbeing Consultant to global brands including Uber, Disney, Diageo, Standard Chartered Bank, Lendlease, Viatris, and many others

• Product Contributor to Unmind's digital mental health platform, helping thousands access evidence-based support

• Multilingual Facilitator fluent in English, German, and Farsi, bringing cultural sensitivity and psychological safety to diverse communities

​​

But credentials are just the entry point. Here's what actually matters:

I create spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest. Where perfectionism can take a back seat. Where you can explore what's really going on beneath the surface - the fears, the doubts, the "what ifs" - and transform them into fuel for growth.

Whether I'm working with a burned-out executive, a parent drowning in guilt, or a team that's lost its spark, my goal is the same: to help you reconnect with your strengths, clarify what truly matters, and build the kind of life where wellbeing isn't an afterthought.

Because transformation isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming more fully yourself.

​

Why This Matters

The Personal Why

I've sat across from brilliant leaders who couldn't regulate their own stress. Parents who'd forgotten what joy felt like. High-achievers running on empty, convinced they just needed to "push through."

​

And I've watched what happens when they finally get the support they deserve:

The executive who learned to lead without sacrificing his mental health. The parent who stopped feeling guilty and started feeling present. The team that moved from burnout to genuine engagement.

​

That's the work that lights me up. Not the theory. The transformation.

At PPFL, wellbeing isn't a buzzword. It's a way of being. And I'm here to help you make it part of your everyday - so you can live a more fulfilled life, both professionally and personally.
