Inspirational Counselling

Behind the name of Inspirational Counselling; Michael wants to inspire you and to bring spirit into your life and encourage you to open your mind to let in inspirational and brilliant ideas. An Inspirational life is to live your life in Spirit. To live your life in spirit does not mean going to church or necessarily believing in "God' but it is a connection that draws us to an inner knowing that we are one with nature and that includes a connection with all our fellow human beings. Being in Spirit brings us to insights and inspirations and an ability of truly seeing, feeling and believing. It gives us a deep sense of hope, meaningful purpose, wisdom and the ability to live our lives with peace and love.

Michael is a professional counsellor, qualified through the Australian Institute ofProfessional Counsellors (AIPC). There is a counselling room at Delvin which is quiet, peaceful and private to have your counselling appointment. Before Michael graduated he was counselling house guests at Delvin for many years free of charge. Now having spent three years studying he is charging $60 per hour for his fee. Michael is experienced in all walks of life and considers amoung other therapies, CBT and ACT therapy his best tool for counselling, added to this Michael likes to introduce a spiritual aspect for clients to think about. This doesn't mean that people have to be religeous, spirituality goes beyond the boundaries of religions. People do not have to be spiritual themsleves either to benefit from another angle of looking at things. However counselling is not about the Counsellor throwing their veiwpoints on to the client but assisting the client in their goals so if spiritual matter is not your bag, then that's O.K. it won't be forced upon you. Michael believes in a holistic approach to Mental Health, incorporating nature walks, meditation, good sleep, healthy eating, spirituality and pampering. If it is appropriate, homework can be done to improve the rate of healing and quality of life. Once a client has completed counselling therapy with Michael you will have the tools to approach any problematic situation which might arise in the future. However the door is always open for clients to come and go in therapy as much as they like including telephone or Skype conversations.
