Holistic Counselling is different from conventional counseling.
Holistic counselling is a unique form of counselling focused on the whole person. Using the principles of humanistic (or positive) psychology, it is solution focused rather than problem-focused and considers physiological and psychological disorders to be parts of a greater whole.
Holistic Counsellors regard the mind, body, and spirit as fundamentally interconnected.
Holistic Counsellors regard the mind, body, and spirit as fundamentally interconnected.
The focus is on empowering a client to discover and access their own inner wisdom and healing capacity by providing support, guidance, and resources like positive life skills, meditation, stress management skills, self-acceptance, and communication, which are developed through a range of activities and exercises.
The Holistic Counsellor does not try to analyze, categorize, judge, or label their clients but endeavors to provide information that facilitates the client's personal journey toward self-discovery and ultimately having the confidence, clarity, wisdom, and resources to solve problems, overcome issues and achieve goals for themselves.
The Holistic Counsellor does not try to analyze, categorize, judge, or label their clients but endeavors to provide information that facilitates the client's personal journey toward self-discovery and ultimately having the confidence, clarity, wisdom, and resources to solve problems, overcome issues and achieve goals for themselves.
As part of the client's journey, the Holistic Counsellor guides the client in exploring their belief systems, past trauma, and other factors that may influence their current situation. This is done in a gentle client-lead way so that the client can recognize and understand the cause of issues they may want to work past and overcome.
This is a human-centered therapy, where the Holistic Counsellor becomes a support partner and resource provider rather than an authority on what is and what is not healthy, with the intention of assisting the client to reach their own life and health goals (which can be extremely diverse).
Holistic Counsellors do not strive to solve their client's problems for them, they endeavors to educate their clients on how to solve their own issues and develop lifelong positive habits and coping strategies.
