Integrative Counselling

“Everything in your life is there as a vehicle for your transformation.” – Ram Dass

Integrative Counselling is an approach that takes the entire human being—the physical, the psychological, the emotional, and the spiritual—and all of his or her life experiences into consideration. It utilises eastern and traditional western modalities to facilitate self-discovery and wellness, and to support the individual in living a life aligned with their deepest wisdom.

We know when we are living a life that is not true for us because we feel it inside. It affects our mood. It affects our life energy. It affects how we think, feel, and behave. We often feel a sense of disconnection from ourselves and others, and we can find ourselves feeling discouraged or losing hope.

Living a life that goes against our deeper wisdom creates tension and inflammation within our bodies, which we experience as a sense of dis-ease. It is our body’s subtle way of informing us that we are off track, that something is not right, and if left unaddressed, our bodies begin to shout, and we develop compensations and symptoms such as:

Negative thought patterns and beliefs, eating non-nutritious food, not prioritising exercise, getting insufficient sleep, having unresolved trauma, feeling stuck but choosing not to do anything about it, choosing to stay in a vocation or relationship that is not true for us, feeling disconnected from our sensuality and sexuality, feeling lonely or isolated, and/or feeling disconnected from our soul or something greater than ourselves. Not feeling good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, or however enough; every misattunement affects our greater whole.

Putting our energy into things that do not serve us on the outside, disconnects and depletes us on the inside.

Integrative Counselling views all of your life experiences as a rich interconnected tapestry and supports you in developing a deep appreciation of who you are, the value you bring, and why you are here.

Gaining a deeper understanding of how your past helped shape your current reality helps you disentangle and unplug from patterns that may otherwise keep you stuck, bringing a sense of balance and harmony to your life.

With an emphasis on your unique strengths, resources, and abilities, the process supports you in taking personal responsibility for being the leading authority in your life, reclaiming your power, and gaining the clarity to align with what is most meaningful and true for you as you take your place and show up in the world.

“The greatest fear in the world is the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.” – Osho
