What is spiritual counselling?

Spiritual work draws on the universal wisdoms of all spiritual traditions to help uncover one's relationship to deeper truths within. These wisdoms can help release us from fear-based modes of functioning and into our higher selves, bringing more wholeness, freedom, joy, and connection.

Spiritual counselling may include suggestions on further resources and may incorporate practices such as:
  • Meditations drawn from a wide array of traditions
  • Ritual & Prayer
  • Expressive therapies such as art therapy, nature-based therapies, and writing practices
  • Spiritual reflection and conversation
These practices are ultimately aimed to help you facilitate the capacity to draw on your own deepest wisdom.

Why seek spiritual counselling?

Many people choose to engage in counselling with a spiritual dimension for self-development and life direction. It is also a helpful approach with grief and loss issues or when adjusting to major unexpected life events and life-stage issues.

People attend spiritual counselling or 'direction' for many reasons including:
  • To work through past ruptures in their spiritual life (sometimes including previous negative experiences of religion or spirituality)
  • To deepen their relationship with their own inner world, spirituality and creativity
  • To expand their repertoire of spiritual practices
  • For guidance as they navigate times such as 'the dark night' or spiritual crisis
  • To explore spiritual aspects of meaning at difficult times such as when a loved one dies or there has been a major loss or change in life circumstances

I offer spiritual counselling drawing on a range of spiritual traditions, both in person in Brisbane, and online.

I utilise a holistic, ‘interfaith’ approach which is respectful of the many paths and ways in which we all walk  towards truth and healing. I have studied and practiced within Christian, Buddhist, Yoga, Sufi and other traditions. I am comfortable working with clients from different spiritual and cultural backgrounds in a respectful and informed way.

If you are attending clinical psychology sessions you may wish to incorporate a spiritual perspective if that is an important aspect of meaning in your life.
