By applying a 'WHOLE' person approach to the therapeutic process, growth and transformation are enriched. Real Life Therapy and coaching is a transformative, integrative therapeutic process that navigates individuals beyond the thinking mind into consciousness awareness fostering growth and wholeness. The therapeutic experience can result in contentment, happiness and fulfilment. The process creat
es psychological shifts and facilitates changes in the way you think and feel aligning to your life’s purpose, connecting you to your true essence and expanding a compassionate heart-centre by embracing psycho-spiritual dimensions. The ‘trans’ component of ‘transpersonal’ reaches unconventionally ‘beyond’ what we are known to experience through the ego as humans and underpins the Real Life approach by integrating Intuition, soul consciousness, creativity, compassion, insights and spiritual experiences into a transpersonal therapeutic process. The mind component of the therapeutic process integrates client-centred counselling, humanistic psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and NLP. Energetically, Reiki and energy healing enhances the whole process. The pioneering work of Jung, Maslow, Assagioli, Grof and William James have all been influential in my work as a therapist coach and I continue to learn and implement further developments in the specialist areas of coaching and therapy. Understanding the pitfalls and benefits of psycho-spiritual development can be challenging and at the same time insightful and enlightening. Insights into spiritual awakenings, spiritual emergence and dark nights of the soul may require some guidance, especially if experienced by highly sensitive people (HSP’s) or empaths who are receptive to the emotions of others and energetically aware. The transpersonal exposes a deeper meaning and understanding of the ‘Self’, life and the universe. It embraces true potential and explores the various pathways that navigate an enriched destination by galvanising positive qualities and re-framing negative experiences. My work explores more deeply the connection between Trauma and transformative growth and spiritual experiences.
