About psychosynthesis

Psychosynthesis literally means soul-making. The soul is the whole person; in the process of life development, each of us makes our soul. Psychosynthesis is about growing into wholeness and then bearing fruit, much as an apple seed grows into an apple tree and apples are produced. In psychosynthesis guidance and mentoring I provide techniques and practices for you to use in integrating body, emotions and mind. You learn to identify parts of self – your subpersonalities, and marshal and expand your own resources of loving kindness, personal will and creative imagination.

About personal consulting

In the course of life’s journey we sometimes come to places where the going is rough, or the way not clear to us. We wish for consultation with someone who has been this way and knows both the scenic views and the perils. As a psychotherapist I have guided many in therapy and have helped them confront and overcome past and current obstacles to living the life they choose. As a personal consultant I offer you ways to reflect on your current situation, to understand the effects of the past on you, and to learn how to achieve the desires of your heart using your own strengths and capacities.

About spiritual guidance

The intent of spiritual guidance, also called spiritual direction, is the person’s growth in relationship with the Holy. In spiritual guidance, this relationship is the prayerful focus of both guide and the one coming for direction. Together, director and client attend to how God/Mystery/Holy One, is moving within the client’s life and within the three-way relationship among God, the one seeking guidance, and the guide. The guide brings to the spiritual guidance relationship willingness and desire to nurture another’s spiritual life and well-being; experience in attending to and heeding the Spirit’s direction and call in her or his own life; sensitivity to the movement of Spirit; experience of the ups and downs of life, and cultivation of an underlying steadiness through them; ability to radiate acceptance and love; empathic communication skills; and love of God/Mystery/Holy One.
