Counselling and Transpersonal Counselling
Thrive by Design provides Transpersonal Counselling and psychotherapy services to help you learn to navigate through crises and difficult times in your life.
This counselling in Adelaide provides a unique approach to the daily challenges of life.
Do any of the following issues create problems in your life in ways that you would like to change?
Unresolved grief or trauma? Repetitive non-useful patterns of behaviour? Addictions? Old heartaches that you can't let go of? Personality traits that create disharmony in your relationships? Panic and anxiety? Low energy and fatigue and a sense of loss of direction in life? Mood swings? Hopelessness, helplessness and powerlessness? Depression? Chronic pain, Obsessive thinking and Compulsive behaviour?
Do you feel lost and alienated in an increasingly surreal world. Have you lost your way, your direction, does life appear meaningless and pointless? Do you find that the relationships that have sustained you are now falling away?
It is not the events in our lives that cause us pain - it is how we perceive those events. How you perceive them is based on the "programme” you were given as a child. It is from this view that you perceive the world.
This counselling and psychotherapy service offers an opportunity to look behind the presenting symptoms of pain to discover the programme that drives it.
Most programmes are dysfunctional.[The World Health Organisation estimates that 93% of all families are dysfunctional] These programmes have us perceive ourselves as powerless to change. They contribute to feelings of guilt, shame, anger, worry and helplessness.
Transpersonal counselling and therapy from well trained therapists and counsellors provides a fresh paradigm into what is out of balance in one's life and skills to restore this balance.
It is a powerful process to change your perception of yourself and therefore your life. To go from a place of pain, shame, fear, anger, guilt and powerlessness to a place of detachment, empowerment, peace and serenity that is your birthright as a human.
The Transpersonal counselling and psychotherapy approach to change and empowerment addresses the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
This counselling in Adelaide works in a powerful and holistic way that reminds us that we are unique, gifted and awesome creatures of the universe, creating our lives in whatever manner we choose.
Transpersonal Counselling and therapy facilitates self exploration to help us discover who we are, where we fit in the world and most importantly how we want to be in the world.
The counsellors call on a variety of modalities through which we can develop our own personal resources in order to navigate our unique path through life, to fulfill our possibilities
This leads to healing, growth, self empowerment and ultimately finding meaning and purpose in our lives.
Art Therapy
What is Art Therapy? What is an Art Therapist?
Art Therapy is a non verbal expression of the psyche that bypasses the normal verbal defenses set up against discovering the source of current difficulties being experienced in life.
Art as Therapy facilitates shifts in the physical, emotional, behavioural and cognitive function of the client and draws on the deep psyche and archetypal imagery to facilitate healing and change.
"Art and creativity are the soul's medicines - what the soul uses to minister to itself, cure its maladies and restore its vitality" - Shaun Mcniff
Art Therapy is a profound and innovative approach to problem solving and the creative process and accesses the plasticity of neurological function and a variety of neurological pathways in the healing process.
Art therapy connects us to the deep unconscious through symbol and image.
The Art Therapist uses a variety of mediums that include painting, drawing, clay work, poetry, dialogue and journaling and other forms of expression. Art Therapy is a powerful way of activating the healing process through creativity and active imagination.
Child and Adolescent Specialty Services
What is parenting. How do we parent. How do parents cope with difficult and/or disturbing behaviours within the family.
When children are experiencing problems in the home or at school it is very often the result of unresolved issues in the family that the child is simply acting out. Child rearing is a difficult business that comes with out a manual.
Thrive offers assessment of Child and Adolescent behaviour issues and with minimal intervention, provides strategies and practical parenting tips within the whole family for addressing these issues often leading to a swift resolution of the difficulties and a restoration of balance within family life.
We offer parents support and help with child rearing and practical support for child behaviour. It does not matter if you are a nuclear family, single parent or blended family – each family has its issues with raising children and at Thrive we approach the “how to parent” issues from a variety of modalities.
Shamanic Practice and Healing
What is Shamanism? What is a Shaman?
The word itself comes from the root Siberian Tungus and literally means, “One who Knows”. But what do they know?
The Shaman is the Navigator of Worlds, they are a Master of Ecstasy who knows how to step out of this ordinary mundane world of which we are all a part and navigate other worlds and dimensions – in the service of their client.
The Shaman is a Master of Spirits who encounters beings in these other worlds and communes with them again in service of their client and community.
They are the earliest navigators of consciousness, skillful to a high degree in journeying and bringing back the resources needed to aid the client in the ‘here and now’ process of their lives.
They have many resources and skills at their disposal to ascertain what has led to the client’s symptoms as they present to them. No matter what the problem, while addressing those symptoms and restoring balance to the physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual realms of the client – they are always at heart observing the flight of the soul and where the client is in the journey of their life between birth and death.
Healing on a deep level indeed.
