Psychosynthesis...
...was founded by Roberto Assagioli (1888-1974), a contemporary of Jung and one of the pioneers of transpersonal psychology. He
developed psychosynthesis in order to integrate psychotherapeutic and spiritual elements to create a dynamic and practical system of working with the various conscious and unconscious levels of the human psyche. Although all aspects of the psyche are important, the Higher Self underpins the approach as it is the central core around which everything revolves.
“Psychosynthesis stretches beyond
the boundaries of personal psychology... by
postulating a deeper centre of identity: the Self,
our essential being" (Diana Whitmore)
Psychosynthesis draws from a wide range of psychological and spiritual techniques, which share their roots with both Western and Eastern approaches to personal and spiritual development. It is believed that the natural tendency of humans to move toward individuation can be accelerated by deliberate conscious action and by the use of appropriate exercises, held within a transpersonal framework to facilitate growth and inner transformation. Therefore, psychosynthesis incorporates these techniques for the ultimate purpose of integration and healing at a spiritual level.
Described as a psychology with a soul, psychosynthesis acknowledges emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual aspects of the human experience. It is a comprehensive approach that enables individuals and groups to explore their essential nature, identify and express their creative potential, develop greater understanding of their inner and outer world, and generally gain a deeper sense of their true purpose and meaning.
Confidentiality...
...means that all information discussed during therapy, coaching and supervision sessions remains confidential and will not be shared with anyone else, unless it is felt that you or someone mentioned is at risk of harm. However, professional and ethical working requires that practitioners undertake clinical supervision on a regular basis. Therefore, certain details may be explored within this professional relationship, although identifying characteristics will be kept to a minimum to maintain anonymity. In addition to this, supervisors are bound by the same codes of practice and therefore also recognise and adhere to confidentiality guidelines. Please ask if you would like further information regarding confidentiality in relation to any of the services offered.
Cancellations...
...and the re-scheduling of appointments is sometimes necessary. However, on such occasions it is important to provide as much notice as possible, so that sessions can be offered to other people. Therefore, a minimum of 24 hours notice is required when cancelling
therapy, coaching, mentoring and supervision sessions. If this notice period is not provided, it will be necessary to charge the full fee. For group supervision, a minimum cancellation period of 48 hours is required.
"The least of things with a
meaning is worth more in life
than the greatest of things
without it" (Carl Jung)
Availability of Services...
...can occasionally be limited due to current commitments, which means it is not always feasible to accept new referrals. On occasions such as this, alternatives will be suggested where possible.
