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.

What Is Soul Centred Psychotherapy?

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.

How Does It Work?

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.

Why Try Soul Centred Psychotherapy?

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.
