Whole being.

In our personal journey of understanding the Self, we have come to value the connection between body, mind, soul and spirit. We also value the relationships with the other than human world: mountains , plant, fungi, animal and ancestors of blood and bone. It is these animist values that help us see a human BEING as part of the WHOLE.

The mainstream mental health model of care mostly tends to the emotional and mental parts to provide support to an individual. We find that in order to support the healing of mental ailments, we need to address the whole being and their relationships to the inner and outer worlds

“We don't see the world as it is, we see it as we are” ― Anaïs Nin

We at Whole Being Counselling live by the saying: Be the change you want to see in the world. We embody our holistic practice and develop a relationship of trust with clients by immersing ourselves in the safety and security of the present moment; and holding this space for your journey back to your oldest friend – YOU.

“Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at anytime and be yourself.”
― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
