TRANSPERSONAL COUNSELING
Transpersonal counseling refers to the practice of investigating and enhancing one’s connection with direct
spiritual experience. This can include a wide variety of approaches such as clearing old patterns of belief and
emotional distress, developing intuition, connecting with soul or spirit, and clarifying what gives meaning
and purpose to one’s life.
The framework of all my work is transpersonal in that I operate with the premise that we are spiritual
beings who have committed to being in human form with a large variety of agendas, not the least of which
is to experience the richness of the human adventure. My role as a facilitator, guide, companion, and
sometimes teacher, is to assist the person working with me to connect more deeply with his or her
purposes, sources of joy, gifts and talents, and to develop the witness consciousness of an awakened
being.
Sometimes the work will look very much like traditional counseling depending on where a person is in
his/her healing journey. The difference is that I hold the person in a larger view that honors the truth of
who we are: magnificent beings of light working towards mastery in this experience. My focus is to assist
the client in the changes he or she desires and to facilitate a greater sense of well being and creativity. We
may address wounding but the emphasis is on accessing resources and motivations to change with the
understanding that challenges are gifts to explore and develop our fullness.
Sometimes the work will involve deep meditation to access transcendent states of consciousness through
guided visualization and active imagination work. The values of developing compassion and acceptance of
self, connecting with one’s own internal wisdom and sources of joy, and finding ways to make one’s unique
contribution to the world are intrinsic to this approach.
