hotel or BnB. But you are not limited to our countryside offices. We can
arrange to work in a location of your choice anywhere in the world.
Private and Professional
*Transpersonal Psychology
What is Transpersonal?
The word ‘transpersonal’ breaks down into two roots: ‘trans’
meaning ‘beyond or through’ and ‘personal’ which is derived from the word
‘persona’ i.e. our identity, mask or personality. The word transpersonal,
thus, represents those elements of ourselves which are ‘beyond’ the identity
to which we ordinarily associate ourselves.
Within the context of how this specific field of psychology defines
itself, and in the words of Dr. Beth Hedva:
The term ‘transpersonal’ implies that these special elements
which are ‘beyond’ our personality, beyond the standard identity of who
and what we are, are available for us to use, to help us ‘through’ life.
Waiting to be discovered in the core of who and what we are as human beings,
is an expanded consciousness -- not outside of us -- but rather running
‘through’ each person. In fact, it is frequently the process of going
through very human experiences, including a crisis or challenge, that we
awaken to unknown strengths, and come to experience greater resources within
our being.
Transpersonal therapies draw on a wide range of
contemporary and ancient traditions to enable an individual to contact
an expanded perspective on their personal life issues. Spiritual
practices from ancient and indigenous cultures, along with contemporary
research in clinical psychology, parapsychology, anthropology and religious
studies blend to offer clients a personalized approach to self-healing,
growth, and integration of expanded states of awareness.
The purpose of transpersonal counselling is
to equip and support the client to engage in their own personal healing
journey. Typical ‘personal’ problems such as:
anxiety
depression
relationship issues
recovery from addictions
childhood wounds
emotional, sexual or physical abuse
... become invitations to discover a way through the injury; inviting us
to step beyond our limited or habitual response to our circumstances by
drawing on the wisdom of all of who we are: body, mind and spirit.
Sessions are customized to meet the needs and
goals of the individual, couple, family, committee or work group. The unique
needs of the client determine the path the individual takes to grow or
evolve, as well as the direction for therapy. A wide range of therapeutic
techniques may be employed to assist in this process ranging from: cognitive
and behavioral approaches, strategic brief therapy; using interpersonal
therapies such as family therapy, gestalt or existential therapies; or
using symbolic process, including expressive arts therapies, as well as
possibly using more intuitive tools such as astrology, tarot, dream work
and other ancient and vibrational healing methods (stones, crystals, colors,
aromas, guided imagery, meditation and the like).
Spiritual Counselling and Intuitive Consultation:
Clients may be interested in using intuitive
services to gain perspective on their lives. An ‘intuitive reading’ may
allow clients to organize and reflect upon their thoughts, questions, and
concerns. Together we open a dialogue that looks at their presenting
issues from the perspective of life lessons and soul growth. Life
concerns are explored as opportunities and challenges in the development
of character and personal liberation. Beth Hedva is trained to support
people's
intuition,
then go further by employing a variety of intuitive tools -- astrology,
tarot and numerology, along with ‘straight psychic work’ or past-life regression
work -- each offering specific reflections of the client's innate gifts,
talents and resources, or tools they already have that might aid them in
the successful mastery of a their current issues.
Readings are affirming, empowering and illuminating.
