Coaching/Mentoring
Finding someone to help you through the mess of religious efforts to change our sexuality and/or gender can be difficult, as there aren't many who understand the complex interrelated dynamics involved with religious beliefs and LGBT+ issues.
It's all about finding a way of understanding our thoughts and experiences, combining many different methods/modalities. Everyone is unique and there's no "one size fits all" approach.
I don't use the "hype" that is often found in many life coaching practices, so it isn't about setting goals, visualising, positive affirmations or other tricks of the trade that many find are just too much hard work, often leading to an even deeper sense of failure.
My methodology brings a deep peace, stability and joy - a place where we are free to address past abuses and trauma without retriggering the emotional pain.
I don't use any Christian doctrines or theology, so there are no triggers that would cause fear or deepen trauma. In fact, I address our innate spirituality in a way that transcends traditional religion, while still giving freedom to hold on to any beliefs that we may feel comfortable with.
It's all about finding a way that empowers us to live lives of peace, freedom, love and integrity (something that so many of us have never experienced).
The foundational premises are:
- We are not broken in any way – we don’t need fixing
- We can easily understand how our minds work, which is the foundation of mental health
- Unconditional love and acceptance is the single most powerful force for life
Sessions are available in person or Zoom/Skype etc. and include access to the Facebook private support group and email support.
My standard rate is $75NZ per hour, but don't let money stop you, we can work out something.
