About Me & Spiritual Counselling
Spirituality has always been my favourite subject and I was very curious as a child, so naturally liked to ask philosophical questions about life and life's dilemmas, although my own inner journey towards spiritual counselling actually began 35 years ago outside of Wales during an extensive study of yoga, meditation and energy healing whilst studying Western Psychology and Eastern philosophy.
My Path towards Spiritual CounsellingThese studies led me to become an energy healer and a yoga teacher which further enabled me to continue deepening spiritual practice whilst promoting positive mental health and healing with Nature Therapy in North Wales
To further broaden my understanding of the human psyche I immersed myself in the study of Western Psychology and obtained a diploma in Psychotherapy My spiritual searching took me through Indian yoga philosophies, hatha yoga, kriya yoga meditation, Zen Buddhism, and eventually brought me to the study of in-depth material on ascension dynamics and quantum mechanics of consciousness which inspired me to use Spiritual | Soul Therapy approach that combines Eastern, Western and soul ascension philosophies.

Questions that Clients Ask
What positive changes can Clients experience?
It always delights me to see the positive shift and changes in my Clients' psyche that happen during therapy. Often the healing process can take my clients through personal changes and difficult feelings, but these are replaced by rewards of inner peace, broader perspective, sense of lightness and joyful bursts of creativity in finding positive solutions to their dilemmas. Other times clients improve their relationships, ability to improve self-regulate their own emotions and to overcome their negative internal 'mental chatter' outside therapy session which awards them with a hard-earned emotional tool kit for life.
Is it Normal to feel Anxious before my first Therapy Session?
Yes of course, its perfectly normal to feel anxious before your first session, after all, you are opening deep vulnerable and unexplored parts of your inner self, so I would emphasise here that it takes a lot of heart and courage to do so.
You mention a Free Telephone Consultation before Beginning Therapy - Why is this?
This is common for therapists to offer free and non-obligatory telephone consultations. It is very important for a client to feel a comfortable rapport and resonance with their therapist before beginning any form of therapy. I would include here that different counsellors may use their own chosen methods of offering the initial consultation to their clients and it may or may not be free.
What Inner Qualities should a Counsellor have?
In my opinion, the most important qualities for any therapist in the healing profession is honesty, transparency, open heart and truth within themselves and towards others. Naturally when a therapist is helping others during times of emotional turmoil, then they should have a well-developed sense of compassion, heart-centeredness, acceptance and the ability to hold compassionate and neutral, non-judgmental container for the client's distress, emotional pain, confusion or self-exploration .
What do most Clients expect from Therapy?
Broadly speaking, there are countless reasons why an individual may choose therapy and it would be difficult to list them all, although some reasons may be to talk about their problems or pain, searching for answers, discover positive solutions to problems in their lives, overcome addictions, self-defeating behaviours, finding closure on past memories or experiences, discover their inner-peace, feel connected to their heart, mind and soul, overcome loss of a loved one, dissolve fears and phobias, understand why they see life in a certain way, or feeling a certain way, why they get emotionally triggered and what causes it, understand their dreams and improve relationship dynamics and so on.
How can Clients make the most from Therapy?I have observed the best results from therapy work transpired with clients who are willing to actively engage their own process of healing and self-reflection outside of their therapy sessions to allow integration in their everyday life. I have noted that clients who rapidly improved, created personal space for emotional clearing in their personal time. Some additional activities that successful clients have implemented throughout their therapy have been journaling and keeping thought diaries, feeling releases through writing, audio or body work, meditation, yoga, communicating with their inner child, nature walks and spending time with positive friends or family.

Has your therapy approach changed over the years?
Yes and no! I have always held a spiritual core in my therapy work, be it Yoga, Meditation, Counselling or Psychotherapy. I would like to hope that over the years of practice and my own personal and professional growth, my therapeutic approach has become more refined and expanded to encompass an integrated and holistic psychological approach that honours my clients' body, mind and soul.
