ABOUT

TEACHING THE BALANCE OF MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT

I named my practice Zen Holistic Counselling because Zen means living consciously in the present moment.  Zen is a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of being fully present and immersed in the current moment, without judgment, whilst also being conscious and mindful of the present moment, not holding on to any grievances or weight of the past.  This practice can lead to reduced stress, increased happiness, and a greater sense of self awareness, inner reflection and fulfillment.   

Zen Holistic Counselling supports and holds space for women and couples of all ages helping to improve emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being by consciously letting go of things that no longer serve your physical and mental health. 
Zen Holistic Counselling helps women to recognize that we have a powerful and innate ability to heal and empower ourselves, by embarking on a conscious healing journey.  

It is proven that our thoughts have a direct impact on our bodies.

Holistic Counselling delves deeper into the physiological effects on how stressful and unsupportive thoughts impacts our nervous system, we do this by studying the levels of stress you experience on a day-to-day basis exploring your triggers and other core belief systems.

HOW IT WORKS

Zen Holistic Counselling

Holistic counselling distinguishes itself from conventional counselling by adopting a more integrative approach to mental well-being. While traditional counselling often focuses on identifying and addressing specific problems, holistic counselling takes a broader perspective. It also recognizes that mental health is intricately connected to one's physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life. Holistic counsellors emphasize the importance of considering the whole person and their unique circumstances. This approach extends beyond mere symptom management and instead seeks to promote overall wellness and personal growth. One key element of holistic counselling is the incorporation of positive psychology, which underscores the importance of cultivating strengths, resilience, and well-being rather than solely concentrating on what is wrong with an individual. Holistic counsellors aim to empower their clients to not only overcome challenges but also to thrive by fostering a positive mindset and emphasizing personal growth, ultimately helping individuals achieve a state of well-being. Holistic counselling places a strong emphasis on empowering clients with knowledge, understanding, skills, and tools to take charge of their own well-being. Unlike many traditional forms of counselling, which may adopt a more passive approach, holistic counselling actively involves clients in their own healing process. Holistic counselling encourages self-awareness and self-empowerment, fostering a sense of autonomy and control over one's mental well-being. Through the teaching and learning of valuable skills and tools, individuals can proactively manage their stress, anxiety, and other challenges, reducing the need for ongoing therapeutic intervention. Holistic counselling becomes a catalyst for personal growth and self-improvement, leading to a more balanced and fulfilled life. It is a dynamic approach that goes beyond treating symptoms. Holistic counselling goes beyond conventional methods by embracing a comprehensive and integrative perspective on mental health. It understands the deep connection between our physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Holistic counselling focuses on strengths, resilience, and well-being. It encourages exploring one's potential, fostering positive emotions, and finding a sense of purpose. Holistic counselling actively involves clients in their healing process, empowering clients. It equips them with knowledge, skills, and resources extending far beyond sessions. Holistic counsellors work in partnership with clients to explore better-informed choices that support mental and emotional health. Holistic counselling encourages self-awareness.

WHAT'S INVOLVED

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN HOLISTIC COUNSELLING
& MEDITATION COACHING?

CounsellingListening and Holding space for a client is sometimes all a client needs.  Counselling is designed to make each client feel safe and supported to be able to unload what is causing a client to feel distress and pain, an opportunity to discuss the feelings that you are experiencing that do not support you feeling good, happy and well in everyday life.  Counselling is a big component of therapy, where you will be met with empathy, compassion and a confidential space to discuss what is happening in your life. 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT is a tool to help unlock debilitating and unhelpful thought patterns which can keep us stuck in limiting belief cycles, stopping us from feeling joy and self-fulfillment.  All Holistic Counselling sessions encompasses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.  Homework sheets are given to help you to begin the journey of unlocking and changing belief systems that do not support your mental and spiritual well-being. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - Teaching clients how to come to terms with a past or present trauma and then guiding clients in sessions to commit to new strategies, ways of thinking and how to implement new tools to move forward in their lives.


Goal Setting - Goal Setting is a way for a Holistic Therapist to look at what you would like to achieve in your life that may be currently missing.  Together we will embark on strategies and the Pyramid Method to set new positive goals to enable you to feel more in control in your own life and help to empower you to reach your goals.

Life Bubble Exercise - Together I will take you through quizzes and surveys to help you to identify with what may be lacking in your life, enabling me to identify with what voids may need to be filled in your life to feel happy and fulfilled.

Breathwork - Breathwork invokes the relaxation response, helps to oxygenate the body, clear the mind, release anxiety and trauma, release toxins and keep us healthy.  Zen Holistic Counselling will teach you how to deeply breath into your body and through breathwork how to activate your relaxation response and calm your nervous system which reduces stress and promotes calmer thoughts.

Chakra Cleansing - Chakra cleansing helps to remove negative energies in the body, in different areas of our physical alignment creating a new energy flow.  We do this through looking at where you are storing stress in your body and how it is affecting your nervous system, by pinpointing where you are experiencing discomfort and what the root causes of your trauma or stress are. 

Mantras - Mantras which are a string of positive and calm words are a powerful tool in helping to change one's mindset, to think more positively and to feel better and more aligned with ourselves.  Every time we say something positive to ourselves, we are rewiring our brains neural brain circuits and reinforcing and reinstating a new way of thinking and believing in who we are.

Affirmations - When we affirm positive affirmations about ourselves, our lives, and what we desire it creates new neural pathways and helps us to create a healthier mindset.  Affirmations said daily creates new belief patterns and can change the way you see yourself, others and life.

Meditation Sessions -   Meditation is included in all sessions and helps to restore and calm the nervous system.  Meditation is a tool which teaches us to be still and present, whilst being aware of relaxing our thoughts, mind and body.  Meditation can help change the way you feel by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps in aiding healing by implementing new supportive thoughts that improves overall health. All meditations are guided meditations and are part of your Holistic Counselling Session.  Meditation workshops are also available. 

Other Positive Psychology Tools are used in Sessions which are determined based on your individual circumstances.

TESTIMONIALS

"I had several Holistic Counselling Sessions with Maria and I would definitely recommend her.   I would say Maria is the modern day Healer who specialises in providing knowledge and tools to work with your mind, body and spirit as a whole.  Think part psychology/part physiology/part spiritual knowledge with intuitive nudges kicked in.  I loved Maria's self created Studio of peace and tranquility and her compassion and devotion to healing is something to behold.  Thanks Maria for taking so much time to really listen to me, I felt heard, understood and supported.  Thanks also for being committed to my healing journey by customising my "homework" handout sheets . " Namaste.
