In search of soul

Person-centred spiritual accompaniment 

​​

For those of us who are on the soul journey, contemporary person-centred spiritual accompaniment can offer us a safe, accepting and supportive space in which we can tell our sacred stories, explore our journeying and ‘live the questions’ that are meaningful to us. It is a very different experience from the direction, guidance or discipling that people from many spiritual traditions have sought from others over the centuries. You do not have to be religious, to adhere to a particular spiritual tradition or to be part of a spiritual community to benefit from it. It does not matter where you are on our journey or how you experience and express your spiritual self. Whatever it is you are searching for, setting aside an hour or so every few weeks to attend to your soul in this way can be an invaluable resource and a profoundly growthful experience.

 

Person-centred spiritual accompaniment is essentially non-directive. It is not about one person giving advice, guidance or direction to the other. It is an offering of companionship from a fellow traveller, from someone who is willing to walk alongside us for a while as we seek to find our way home to soul.

 

Finding a spiritual accompanier 

​

​Sadly, there are as yet few qualified person-centred spiritual accompaniers in the UK or elsewhere. However, some of those accompaniers now work online as well as face-to-face. If you are unable to find one who works in your area or online, an alternative option might be to search for a person-centred, Jungian or psychosynthesis counsellor or therapist instead.
