Positive psychotherapy is one of the most comprehensive and effective therapeutic methods in

psychoanalytic models. The Balance model of Positive psychotherapy is a key concept that helps not only

psychotherapists and clients to detect the problem to plan a route for action but also to build hope for

the future life. The study aims to examine the effectiveness of the supervision process of a practical

module, “Psychological Counseling with an Individual,” structured on the Balance model of Positive

psychotherapy on university students having the module and their actual clients. There were 12 senior-

year university students and 12 clients in the supervision process. Evaluation forms for students and

clients comprised by the author were used as collection tools. The outcomes showed that including the

Balance model in the sessions helped understand the psychological problem experienced, have the right

action plan, and promote hope.
