Creative visualisations, creative counsellors: Inner journeys

This research assesses what may be contributed to counselling through developing practice which is centred on a feminist psychospiritual model. This is a qualitative study which analyses a series of in depth, semi-structured interviews, as I discuss transpersonal and psychospiritual forms of practice with each of the research participants. Interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) is selected to analyse the data collected. After conducting the IPA study, the findings and discussion address the potential for transpersonal approaches within a new approach which is provided as a stepped model of guidelines for relevant cases. The study concludes that Collaborative Pluralistic counselling could include a focus on spirituality for relevant clients and within this approach, a psychospiritual model may be offered within collaborative pluralistic therapy.
