Holistic Counselling

Holistic Counselling is a therapeutic modality that adopts a person centred approach, anchored in positive psychology that lets you take control and guide the sessions. Often referred to as a mind, body, spirit approach, it differs from traditional methods of counselling in that we consider the person as a whole being, with all parts connected. Thus we can work in all spaces that impact upon our lives - our environment, our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states, all of which are equal parts of who we are as humans.Holistic Counselling will address underlying issues, and promote healing, self awareness and our connection to self. Though predominantly a talk therapy based modality, sessions can also offer time to be silent, still and reflective as required by you.I offer you the space to delve deeply into any aspect of your life you wish to work on. It can involve diet, exercise, motivation, personal practices, education, well being, life direction.It allows us to explore existential questions that may offer insight into a deeper meaning and purpose of our lives, and how this may bring clarity and more defined direction in life.We can work with feelings of anxiety, depression, and release stuck emotions relating to past trauma and life experiences.You lead the way in your journey. You are the expert in your own life.
Stuart supports you from a perspective that combines many elements of his own education, knowledge and life experience.Our Holistic Counselling sessions may see us working with aspects of positive and person centred psychology, traditional and modern teachings, science backed techniques, indigenous connection practices, meditation, sound healing, and spiritual exploration, as required or relevant to you.Sessions usually take 60-90 minutes, depending on how it flows and what we need to work with during the session. To achieve the most beneficial results, it is recommended that we undertake a minimum of 5 sessions to allow us the space and time to explore, uncover and resolve what ever emerges that requires attention.

Holistic Coaching

Holistic coaching adopts more of a goal - orientated approach, often focusing on a specific outcome you may with to achieve. Stuart can work with you to achieve your desired outcomes through designing and implementing strategies, defining clear purpose and goals understanding your life trajectory, in professional and personal contexts.Holistic coaching takes a unique approach in that primarily about empowering clients to set and pursue meaningful goals, whilst drawing on and maintaining the mind / body / well being connection of the person.Striking the balance - it is an action based modality that can assist you in identifying and removing limiting beliefs and obstacles, and undertaking ways of working within the world so that you may achieve your goals.This is a suitable modality for those that wish to excel in both their personal lives and their careers.Sessions usually take 45 - 90 minutes, depending on what we are working on. It is recommended to book in for a series of 3 sessions initially to really focus in your desired outcomes.

Sound Healing Journey Facilitation

We co - create a session that is focused on you. Stuart will play the instruments to allow you to relax, unwind, come back into your being in a gentle way that will permit a deep journey to release stuck emotions, resolve and restore.The sounds and frequencies generated by the instruments can remove us from our "fight or flight" anxious, stressed state and transform us into a realm of calmness and relaxation.Beautiful moments of release, of letting go of tensions, of stuck emotions, and even deeper moments of reconciling our past traumas may all come fourth. However, we may experience a revolution of peace, of gentle calm, soothing and relaxation not often felt in our daily lives.Sound Journey's use various different instruments to produce certain frequencies.Instruments used include:
Voice
Drums
Himalayan Bowls
Crystal Bowls
Elfiin Chimes
Gongs
Tuning Forks ( biofield, bionic, solfeggio)
Rain stick
Koshi chimes
Bells, Sansula,
Tongue Drums
Flute
Clapping sticks
RattlesStuart has a lifetime of experience in working with sound and frequencies. He combines a broad knowledge of musical, theoretical and scientific knowledge with a natural intuitive ability to work with the instruments and draw fourth the frequencies of sounds that are required in the moment.Stuart has developed his own relationship with his instruments. His sessions open a space for the person to journey deeply, facilitating a gentle, intent filled and personalised experience that ensures you receive exactly what you need from the sound.Sound journey's are held in a quiet, comfortable room. Stuart will generally work on a 1-1 basis, to ensure the most effective session for you. However he does also facilitate sound sessions for couples and small groups.
