Perhaps you can relate to the feeling of longing for greater peace, calm, connection and time to just stop, and 'be' (often easier said than done), reconnecting with your purpose. If you would like support to have a greater sense of peace or 'being' in your life, bring meditation and/or visualisation into your therapy sessions, want to explore what spirituality means to you, or want the space and support to simply be, please get in contact.
I really appreciate working closely with people and their developing spiritual faculties, whether or not they consider themselves to be religious in any formal sense. I have worked alot as a therapist and mentor in this way and in my own therapeutic work, through being part of a Buddhist spiritual community and in the spiritual 'journeying' of my own life so far.

Therapy sessions inviting a stronger spiritual dimension
Spiritual dimensions
If we are to thrive as humans, the spiritual dimension of our humanness needs a little attending to. 'Spiritual' means different things to different people. What I mean by spirituality (for want of a better word, for it might mean so much - and so little - to each of us), is giving ourselves the time, space and awareness to be in dialogue with what connects us to ourselves, those around us and our reasons for being on earth. So this might be about aligning our lives with our values (or perhaps, those things which we wish to value more) in the here and now, so we can feel freer and clearer about what to do with the time and energy available to us.
In my mind, spirituality isn't something we do on special ocassions. We don't have to be someone special, religious, or spiritually gifted to be in touch with a more spiritual connection in our lives. We don't even need to call it spiritual! Perhaps we do need to be willing and able to put some time and energy into exploring what this dimension means to us and how we 'live it'.

“To have some deep feeling about Buddhism is not the point; we just do what we should do, like eating supper and going to bed.
This is Buddhism.”
