Director: Phil Golding BA.(Rel.& Psych.) M.L.Healing
Transpersonal Psychotherapist, Counselor, Healer, Author, Life-Coach, Philosopher.
Phil
began his own inward journey of personal and spiritual development twenty
years ago in 1984. With his natural abilities he soon found himself helping
others do the same, with one to one counseling and group work. Over the
years, Phil privately studied Existential Psychology, Theosophy, Buddhism,
Metaphysics, and Hands-on Healing. He also completed a degree on the subject
of Human Consciousness at the University of Queensland, which included Jungian
and General Psychology. Phil now works at his own counseling and complimentary
therapies center while writing and teaching on the subject of personal and
spiritual development using, amongst other frameworks, the 5 Step Process,
which he developed himself. The 5-Step Process is closely aligned to the
school of Psychosynthesis, developed by Robert Assigioli.
Phil is able to counsel from a spiritual or non-spiritual perspective.
Phil's skills include working with people suffering from:
Depression, stress and anxiety, emotional scars from childhood abuse, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress, phobias, and other emotional issues. Phil is experienced in relationship counseling, personal development or life-coaching, and spiritual counseling.
Phil is also a "Multilevel Healing" practitioner (5-Step Process & Guided Meditation Healing). Multilevel Healing is a depth psychology process that reaches deep into the core of emotional wounding and subconscious conditioning to undo problematic emotional reactions that standard cognitive psychology cannot reach.
Phil's work is grounded in orthodox counseling techniques and psychology training coupled with an extensive knowledge and practice of Self-Realization from the wisdom teachings of eastern spirituality. Phil is also a Dharma teacher (meditation and self-realization), using contemporary Buddhist and Theosophical frameworks and also the 5-Step Process.
He is a dedicated practitioner of his own spiritual and personal healing, integration and development, which he regards as his most important source of training as a therapist and Dharma Teacher. He regards his life as a living meditation, seeking harmony with life on every level, allowing all life's experiences to be his teacher.
