Seph Fontane Pennock

Seph Fontane Pennock founded PositivePsychology.com in 2013 as a personal blog and, together with co-founder Hugo Alberts, PhD, grew it into one of the most comprehensive evidence-based positive psychology resources in the world.

Under his leadership, the site became a trusted library of tools, exercises, and courses used by practitioners, educators, and students in dozens of countries. Many of the articles on PositivePsychology.com were first commissioned and published under his editorial direction.

Seph departed the company in 2024, following its sale, and the platform he built continues under new ownership with the same mission: making the science of well-being practical and accessible.

Today, he writes for and advises mental health professionals, drawing on more than a decade of experience building educational resources at the intersection of psychology and technology.

When I started this website as a personal blog in 2013, I wanted to build a place where evidence-based psychology tools could reach anyone who needed them. It has been a privilege to see that idea grow far beyond me, and to know the work continues.
