Roberto Assagioli was an Italian Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded Psychosynthesis. He suggested that the work of psychosynthesis counselling “leads people to the door” of spirituality but does not go further. Kenneth Sorensen of Psychosynthesis Denmark states that “We have now clarified that “the door” Assagioli is pointing to is the Higher Self. By becoming the Higher Self and Soul, we can “open the door” and partake in “the great mystery” and discover what type of relationship or identity we share with God, the One, The Good, or Universal Beingness.”
Personally, my strong interest in A Course in Miracles is what is at this door for me, and this gently and unobtrusively informs and guides my work with clients.
The primary approach of spiritually focused counselling is to assist clients in allowing themselves to experience the wholeness that they already are. It is about helping clients to get in touch with the love and peace that is available to them in the ever present now moment and in every new moment. It is about helping clients to remove the blocks to living a joyful life with emotional freedom and self-assurance that they are valuable, eternal beings, wholly loveable, wholly loving and wholly loved.
The goal of spiritual counselling is to remedy self-defeating behaviour patterns that block truth from your awareness and keep you stuck, and learning that all of your real limitations are self-imposed and can therefore be healed fully, regardless of your external circumstances. The emphasis on spiritual counselling is getting to know your teacher within and allowing the Divine mind to lead your life to your highest fulfilment. It is about changing false, limiting ego perceptions of who you are and connecting you into your eternal, Divine source.
A need to find the power to live the life you want, is a need to remove blocks of guilt and unworthiness from your mind that are getting in the way. You can do this by connecting with God's unwavering Love for you.
A need to lose weight without dieting, is a need to sit still with uncomfortable feelings or grievances towards yourself or towards other people who have hurt you, and to choose forgiveness and peace instead by connecting to God's love for all.
A need to stop being depressed, is a need to connect to the truth about who you are and the abundance that God provides you with when you are ready to accept it.
A need to heal from loneliness, is a need to connect deeply into the Divine within who lets you know you can never be left alone.

Spiritual counselling focuses on learning to allow yourself to experience the wholeness that you already are, but that may be outside of your awareness due to fearful beliefs of loss, lack and inadequacy. It is about helping you to get in touch with the Love, Joy and Peace that is always available to you by removing the blocks opposing them and aligning you with the Truth that you are inherently valuable; wholly loveable, wholly loving and wholly loved.
