How many sessions will it take?

Even if it is not possible to give a clear answer to that, from my experience, the process of healing shifting and changing into a state of higher well-being is often way faster achieved than my clients originally thought. This can be in part attributed to my a little bit of a different approach, of not putting too much focus on the symptoms but addressing the underlying root cause of what creates the discomfort or friction in one’s life.

How long do appointments go for?

In general, I schedule each session for 1.5 hrs. This is because past experiences showed, that clients feel quite often “cut off” when the session lasts “only” 1 hour. Therefore I provide that space and the time to accommodate that. If a session naturally is finished in less time then 1.5 hrs. I also charge less time.

Holistic Counselling: Our Key Philosophies and Beliefs

Below are several fundamental philosophies and beliefs that we are associating with Holistic Counselling.

Holism

The fundamental principle of Holistic Counselling is holism, which asserts that individuals are complex and interconnected beings. This approach considers the interdependence of the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that changes in one area can affect the others.

Client-Centered Therapy

Holistic Counselling draws from the humanistic tradition, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and active listening. The focus is on the client’s subjective experience and self-exploration, promoting self-awareness and personal growth.

Mind-Body Connection

This philosophy acknowledges the intricate relationship between mental and physical health. It recognizes that emotional and psychological well-being can impact physical health and vice versa. Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga may be integrated to enhance this mind-body connection.

Trans-personal Psychology

This branch of psychology explores the spiritual aspects of human experience. Holistic counsellors may draw from trans-personal psychology to help clients explore and integrate spiritual beliefs, experiences, and practices into their therapeutic journey.

Empowerment and Self-Responsibility

Holistic Counselling encourages clients to take an active role in their healing process. Empowering clients to take responsibility for their well-being fosters a sense of control and ownership over their lives.
Claim back your power, be in charge of your life and not let old, at times outdated belief systems, about yourself, old behavioural patterns or your ego run your life.

Nature-Based Therapies

Recognizing the healing power of nature, some holistic counsellors incorporate eco-therapy or nature-based therapies. Spending time outdoors is seen as a way to reconnect with oneself and the natural world.

Lifestyle and Nutritional Considerations

Holistic Counselling may address lifestyle factors, including nutrition, exercise, and sleep, as integral components of mental and physical health.
