SOUL CENTRED PSYCHOTHERAPY is a way of working with the whole experience of being human. It offers you the opportunity to change, to heal and to understand yourself - to whatever extent you decide is appropriate for you.

ABOUT THIS MODALITY
Soul Centred Psychotherapy is the name given to a form of psychotherapy which was developed in Australia in the 1980’s by Dr. Kaalii Cargill and Andrew Cargill of the Kairos Centre, Melbourne, Victoria. This way of working is based on the understanding that exploring the psyche in its totality enables consciousness to emerge and evolve. While Western culture has traditionally valued mind and spirit (as in science and organised religion) it has largely neglected soul, which is the embodied experience of being human. Soul Centred Psychotherapy is not about fixing something that is supposedly broken; rather, it is about attending to the rich language of psyche-soul as it manifests in your daily life.
Soul Centred Psychotherapy is a therapeutic and transformative journey which unfolds in a safe, supportive space, allowing the relationship between you and me, client and therapist, to develop at its own pace and in its own way. This ensures that the processing of painful memories and traumatic experiences is managed respectfully and systematically and is not overwhelming. Together we explore your inner landscapes, the feeling spaces, which determine how you are and how you act in the world. We attend to, and honour, all aspects of your lived experience, including body sensations and symptoms; dreams, emotions and feelings; mental patterns and thoughts; the energetic field; as well as your relationships with others, the world and the sacred — all that it means to be human!
Fundamental to this process is the development of “witness” or “mindfulness”, a state of being fully present in the moment, with attention available for whatever is happening and the capacity to focus on and observe all manner of sensory experience, without criticism or judgement.
As you develop a conscious relationship with your inner world - your authentic self - links begin to build between behaviours, body-felt responses, feelings, memories and thoughts. This allows healing, meaning and value to come from within your own unique process of inner work, rather than from any externally imposed assumptions or ideals about happiness, health or well-being.
Soul Centred Psychotherapy is primarily concerned with the underlying processes that affect your life and how you are in the world. As such, it also entails Counselling, which is more about resolving immediate life-issues and learning new strategies to cope with them, and Coaching, which focuses on developing a wide range of life-skills - personal, relational and workplace - which will enhance your quality-of-life and well-being.
MY WAY OF WORKING
I have an integral, inclusive approach to healing and well-being - combining my background in education and senior management with my continuing studies in psychotherapy, philosophy and the wisdom traditions to enrich and inform my work.
I am committed to understanding the human experience as fully as possible and to alleviating needless suffering. I listen with a trained ear and heart - noticing exactly what is arising in the moment, honouring whatever is emerging in the therapy session, attending to the lived experience of psyche-soul. I use a wide range of therapeutic interventions and techniques, including working with:

MY BACKGROUND
I began my career as a high-school teacher in Melbourne, then moved to Chicago for post-graduate studies in psychology and business management. My intention was to combine these two fields of endeavour so as to bring a greater respect and understanding of the human condition into the business environment. Upon graduation I became a commercial banker, then relocated to Los Angeles where I worked for over twelve years as a senior bank executive and consultant, specialising in film financing and other services tailored to the needs of the entertainment industry and the creative community.
I returned to Melbourne in 1998 to establish my consulting practice and completed an additional four-year course of study in Soul Centred Psychotherapy at the Kairos Centre.
