Everyone is unique, so are the challenges that we all face in our daily
lives. Whatever may be the concerns that bring people into the counseling
room; there are a number of different approaches to consider. We believe
that every method complements the others.
Counselling is a process of assisting or guiding a person to understand and
explore the solutions of complex situations / circumstances that they are
in. It is a process of helping to see things from a different point of view,
positively and distinctly. It can be defined as a relationship of trust with
confidentiality being paramount.
“I am at my best as a therapist, when I am closest to my inner, intuitive self.
Then whatever I do seems to be full of healing.” – Carl Rogers
The Spiritual Approach
Spiritual counselling utilizes both traditional psychological theories as
well as various spiritual tools to support the individual’s journey.
The word spirit means ‘the immaterial intelligence or wisdom part of a
person.’ It is the inner teacher and wisdom that resides within each living
being. It is an unlimited potential source that guides us and provides
essence to our life.
Spiritual counselling taps into this inner wisdom to assist people in
dealing with issues that do not serve them effectively and prevent them from
living a joyful, fulfilling life.
Spiritual counseling aims to increase a person’s wellbeing by working
through with core issues when dealing in areas of shame, guilt, depression,
fears, defenses, traumas, stress, sub-personalities and addictions so that
an individual can reconnect with their authentic self.

Spiritual Counseling recognizes that we are spiritual beings having a human
experience while holistically interconnected through Mind, Body and Spirit.
Healing and transformation take place when we address all aspects of our
psyche. This path encourages us to shine in our light while transcending our
egos. We are learning to let go of unhealthy attachments while learning to
forgive, surrender and trust in divine guidance. Spiritual values such as
transformation, compassion, gratitude and non-judgment are interwoven with
the counselling. It is the ultimate goal to heal our duality while embracing
and integrating both our spiritual and human self.
