Coaching & Training
Informed communication and counselling is an interactive workshop designed to introduce participants to ideas and concepts, that if utilised in the therapeutic environment, may improve outcomes for practitioners and clients. Participants are encouraged to carefully consider the concepts presented, fostering those that are in alignment with you, while letting go of those that are not, which is a very important in practicing and fine tuning yourself as a practitioner. The course aims to present ideas and a structure for you as a practitioner, all of which you can embrace, fine tune, consider or release, and all of which are open for discussion. There are a few concepts however that are integral to be a good, or even better, a highly effective and successful practitioner.
The course is also designed to help you personally develop yourself as a competent practitioner. The information contained within it has been drawn from many sources over the years of study and enquiry that I have been privy to. The course is aimed at a range of practitioners from body workers, to counsellors and psychologists to better inform and educate our practitioners with the increasing demands and stress being faced in society and based on the current WHO information that indicates an epidemic of mental health related and compensated time off work. Recognition of the current mainstream therapeutic treatment plans and pharmaceutical drug augmentation programs inability to address the root causes of suffering, anxiety and disease brings light to the need for a more allied health approach, the closing of the gap between our medical practitioners and alternative health therapists and counsellors, which was the inspiration of this material and workshop.
Participants will be given the opportunity to explore a more dynamic approach to counselling in combination with their current therapeutic approach by delving into various counselling methods and philosophies, discussing case studies and examples, and developing and refining their current counselling approach.
Participants will be asked to discuss cases and ideas with each other, or in small groups, as well as work individually on key concepts, goals and also the ethical implications of applying this method to their current practice.
Participants are expected to have a minimum entry level counselling skill or qualification, be currently working within a small business or clinic, be actively studying or enrolled in a practitioner course online, university or college. Experience working with clients or current study in the natural medicine field is important in understanding key concepts of this workshop.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a time-tested healing practice that supports your body’s natural ability to restore balance and function. At Pure Soul Wellness, we use this gentle yet powerful therapy to help relieve pain, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
How Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which views the body as an interconnected system of energy pathways known as meridians. When energy, or Qi (chi), becomes blocked or unbalanced, it can lead to discomfort, stress, and illness.
During an acupuncture session, ultra-fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to stimulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore energy flow. This process helps activate the body's natural healing response, promoting both physical and emotional well-being.
Modern research has shown that acupuncture influences the nervous system, enhances blood circulation, and releases endorphins—the body's natural painkillers—helping to relieve discomfort and restore harmony.
The Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a wide range of health benefits by supporting the body's natural healing processes. It is highly effective for pain relief, helping to alleviate headaches, migraines, back pain, joint discomfort, and muscle tension. By promoting relaxation and reducing stress and anxiety, acupuncture helps to balance cortisol levels and calm the nervous system, leading to improved emotional well-being. Many individuals experience better sleep as acupuncture regulates sleep cycles and reduces insomnia. It also supports digestive health, relieving issues such as bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and nausea. For those struggling with hormonal imbalances, acupuncture can assist with menstrual health, fertility, and menopause symptoms. Additionally, it strengthens the immune system, helping the body fight off illness and recover more efficiently. Regular treatments can also enhance mental clarity and focus, reduce brain fog, and boost overall energy levels, leaving you feeling more balanced and revitalised.
