TRANSPERSONAL

A Transpersonal approach to psychotherapy and counselling considers the whole person, and honours the innate capacity of that person to find a way forward in life. It also acknowledges that a person may have lost sight of this capacity and/or may never have consciously known it. It is an approach that focuses on the here-and-now, and is interested in how past experiences and relationships may have inhibited a person’s natural development towards living a full life. It is also interested in potential and possibility, as well as how an individual creates life meaning and purpose and/or losses meaning and purpose. It also recognises and honours a spiritual dimension to life however the individual wishes to define this.

A typical session would include talking about the dilemma and/or difficulty in order to find a resolution, and may employ a range of methods to help in this process, for example working with a dream, and/or making an image or working with clay, and/or playing with objects in sand, and/or working with physical symptoms, and so on. The aim is to increase a person’s awareness in relation to the difficulty and/or dilemma and discern the most beneficial way forward. There is no formula, and each course of therapy is unique to the individual, and depends on the specific needs of the person coming in to therapy, be it for six weeks, six months or longer.
