Holistic Counselling

 

My Approach

 

  • Deep Self-Understanding: I guide clients on a journey of self-discovery that honors their spiritual path, helping them foster a deeper connection with themselves.

  • Practical & Spiritual Tools: I combine evidence-based strategies with spiritual practices to address clients' mental wellbeing, offering support that is both grounded and mystical.

  • Supportive Environment: I provide a safe, welcoming space where both clients' mental health and spiritual interests are met with genuine compassion and understanding.

  • Everyday Integration: I help clients weave spirituality into their daily lives, ensuring they feel supported in incorporating these practices into their everyday experiences.

Bridging the gap between spirituality & mental wellbeing

 

Holistic counselling takes into account clients' entire selves—mind, body, and soul—offering a well-rounded approach to improving overall wellbeing. Integrating spiritual practices can enhance this experience by providing:

  • Enhanced Emotional Resilience: Techniques like mindfulness and meditation can strengthen clients' ability to handle stress and build effective coping skills.

  • Improved Psychological Wellbeing: Spirituality can offer a deeper sense of purpose, enriching clients' mental wellbeing and adding meaning to their lives.

  • Greater Self-Understanding: Exploring clients' spiritual and personal values leads to deeper insights and a more impactful therapeutic experience.

  • Increased Engagement: Many clients find that this combined approach resonates with them, leading to better motivation and outcomes.

“These places of possibility within ourselves are dark because they are ancient and hidden; they have survived and grown strong through that darkness. Within these deep places, each one of us holds an incredible reserve of creativity and power, of unexamined and unrecorded emotion and feeling. The woman’s place of power within each of us is neither white nor surface; it is dark, it is ancient, and it is deep.”
