Helping You Grow To Your Fullest Potential

PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING
Sometimes, in the confusing complexity of life choices that surround us, we just need a sympathetic person to hear us expound our own possibilities. Should we do this or that ? Should we become this or that ? What would be the likely consequences if we decide to go for this opportunity, instead of that ? Advice can be given and probable outcomes divulged. The final choice is always up to us, but diving tools and decision-making grids can be learned that make our choices a great deal simpler. 
TRANSPERSONAL THERAPY
Sometimes it feels that we need to draw down higher powers to sort out the karmic mess we might have gotten into. Sometimes we feel friendless, alone and abandoned even by those who once supported us. Even our faith can wear thin from time to time and we may attempt to fill up our life with addictions and foolish games. Using a whole range of transpersonal therapeutic tools the counselor will guide the client into a whole new range of possibilities for soul-growth that they might not have thought of or even realised existed before. ​
Philosophical Counselling
When confronted with difficult ethical and moral choices in life, it is not always best to look for far distant spiritual reorientations if the answer is much closer to home: inside our own reasoning processes. Transpersonal therapy does not work in opposition to rational thought, but works up to the very limits that rationality is capable of operating at. In Philosophical counselling we seek to use our logical and reasoning processes to find solutions to our difficulties. Only once we have exhausted our rational scientific and medical protocols should  we turn to the transpersonal sources of direction and guidance.

We work with a whole range of tools and protocols to effect personal psychological growth and existential transformation. We recommend an initial therapeutic assessment of between 1-2 sessions in the first month, followed by a month long interval, and then subsequent monthly sessions as required.

​stimulating the creative juices of mind to flow for mutual enlightenment
forgetting/remembering the capacity for deep self-love and love for others

The above list is simply an example of the sorts of issues we deal with. We cannot guarantee to solve every problem that comes before us, but we can, by drawing on a full palette of transpersonal healing and counselling techniques, help facilitate the self-healing and reparation process that each of us needs from time to time , when the burdens of life get too great to be born alone. We can at least guarantee that if you attend regular counselling sessions, your symptoms will gradually diminish and in many cases disappear altogether as you begin to take charge of your life in more self-empowering ways. While many conventional therapeutic and medical interventions can be very time consuming and costly, and also  often ineffective in the long run, our belief is that transpersonal therapy can always produce beneficial results, provided there is a disciplined commitment to working through the appropriate techniques we recommend and develop for you. All healing and self-development protocols will be tailored to your own particular set of needs, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic interventions. 



Face to face sessions normally take place in our central base in the middle of France, only 3 hours from Paris by train, but we can also organise for Skype sessions once pre-booked 

Self Healing in a Dyadic interplay

WORKING WITH ANOTHER CAN OFTEN HELP OUR OWN GROWTH SPEED UP

CREATIVE LISTENING
Sharing our troubles can often make them seem to vanish away. Never underestimate the power of compassionate listening and hearing when we are confronted with the huge challenges that we face in the modern world. 
DIALECTICAL UNDERSTANDING
Listening is a two way street. Diagnosis means literally "knowledge flowing between". Gnosis is the inner knowing we achieve, the aha moment, when we elevate our personal problems to a higher cosmic plane of knowing and we see the microcosmic problems we are facing as part of a bigger challenge facing the macrocosm. 
TRANSPERSONAL HEALING
Medical research has shown that whatever physical illness symptoms we are displaying in our lives, their healing can be helped by a complementary course of transpersonal therapeutic healing sessions, which can address the underlying spiritual, emotional and psychological dimensions of our illness. Conventional medicine is only now beginning to realise that much of healing is self-healing and that conventional scientific medicine has for too long based itself on purely materialist paradigms which do not in fact enlist the healing powers of the soul. Christian, Sufi, Qabalistic, Buddhist and Druid healing traditions, on the other hand, also work with the transpersonal over-soul and the healing powers of Divine Love. 

Theoretical framework

A LINEAGE OF ANCIENT AND MODERN THINKERS
Transpersonal therapy combines the best of ancient and modern scientific and spiritual thinking and practice guided towards the healing arts, taking as a starting point the reality of the psychic and spiritual lives we experience as human beings, souls incarnated into a world of soul-making, and draws on a whole range of traditions and intellectual and spiritual traditions to effect its therapeutic work.
