Wondering what holistic counselling is? Why you would choose to see an Holistic Counsellor over other forms of therapy?
Let’s delve into this newly emerging form of counselling, how it differs and how it can support you on your own personal growth journey.
The meaning of holistic.
The term “holistic” stems from the Greek word “holos,” meaning whole or complete. When we use the term holistic relating to our mental health and well-being, it is in recognition of the interconnectedness between mind, body, and soul.
What is holistic counselling?
Holistic Counselling has emerged with this understanding in mind, offering you a powerful approach to address the multifaceted nature of the experiences and challenges you face in life.
Holistic counselling seeks to address the entirety of your being rather than focusing solely on symptoms or specific issues. At its core, Holistic Counselling adopts a comprehensive view of what’s going on for you as an individual – mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
An holistic approach to personal growth
The mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of you are deeply intertwined. By acknowledging the interconnectedness of the various factors contributing to your wellbeing, Holistic Counsellors support you to promote balance, self-awareness, and personal growth. This will include considering your lifestyle, nutrition, relationships, beliefs, and environmental choices and influences.
How Holistic Counselling Differs from other therapies
Unlike traditional therapeutic approaches that may primarily focus on symptom management or behavioural modification, Holistic Counselling takes a more integrative approach centred around you.
Traditional counselling techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) or psychoanalysis may still be utilised within Holistic Counselling. However, they are complemented by alternative therapies such as mindfulness practices, meditation, nutritional guidance, and energy work.
You will be encouraged to explore your inner landscape and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself in relation to your environment.
Holistic Counselling emphasises the importance of self-care, self-discovery, and empowerment.
Why choose Holistic Counselling
If you are looking to address underlying imbalances in your life or a current challenge you are facing, an Holistic Counsellor can address your unique needs and support you through the healing process.
Holistic Counselling offers a comprehensive approach and an individualised treatment for your personal growth, with an emphasis on prevention and integration of mind, body and spirit.
Understanding this interconnectedness will help you to prevent the recurrence of issues, promote new habits for a healthier lifestyle, and support you through your own personal growth. It can have a profound impact on your overall health and vitality.
