Psychospiritual Therapy

Spiritual ( ‘psychospiritual’ / ’transpersonal’ ) counselling or psychotherapy is seldom overtly offered by other therapists. This page is to give you a real idea of what I offer.

The Meeting of Science and Spirituality

Science states that all that exists is, in essence, energy; and that energy cannot be eradicated – material and non-material. Therefore, whatever we sense or experience – in terms of physical, emotional, psychological, conscious or (what we may call) ‘spiritual’ experiencing – is composed of fine patterns of energy, of which we are composed and immersed in, including consciousness itself.

Furthermore, neuroscientists are beginning to suggest ‘consciousness is the essence of all existence’  – to quote neuroscientist and Vedic scholar Dr Tony Nader.

Psychospiritual – Spiritual – Transpersonal

When considering psychotherapy, ‘psychospiritual’, ‘spiritual’, or ‘transpersonal’ refer to profoundly transformational experiences and processes (including ‘spiritual awakening’) sometimes triggered by an ‘existential crisis’. More than ordinary ‘mindfulness’, in terms of  spiritual self-development, I notice a growing longing to feel truly ‘at home’ within – together with a real sense of meaning as to ‘why we are here’. This is the work of spiritual self-development.

Psychospiritual Psychotherapy – and how we may work

Now, the image of myself as a silver-haired bearded man with a friendly smile may be relaxing and reassuring. However, when choosing a counsellor for counselling or psychotherapist for psychotherapy, please use your sense of what feels right for you as your guide.

And please bear in mind… when considering spiritual self-development (or ‘spiritual mentoring’) within therapy, it is natural to explore any difficult thoughts and emotions present or emerging (eg: anxiety, anger, fear, sadness or grief, underlying sense of shame, perhaps hopelessness, or feeling ‘lost’ and disconnected).

Also, while conscious awareness and spiritual awakening are freeing, a bewildering uncomfortable isolating state of ‘spiritual emergency’ or ‘spiritual crisis’ may precede this (particularly if suddenly occurring) – in which you may fear you are ‘going mad’. (You are not.)

So, if you feel drawn to explore spirituality through self-development – together with ‘the big questions‘ you may have, I will meet you where you are… and proceed with you from there. This is where ‘meditation & mindfulness‘ come in. Here, I introduce a logical intuitive process to create a calming relaxing attitude to yourself and life – which, when practised, becomes a natural way of being. Genuine spiritual inquiry develops our sense of ‘deep being’ – feeling ‘at home’. (Note: those familiar with profound consciousness and spiritual self-development may come to me mostly for spiritual mentoring.)
