Holistic Counselling

This is a remarkable contribution to a new vision for mental health where body, mind and spirit are integrated so that spirit is manifest through matter and our lives become firmly grounded on the earth. This holistic counselling model, the Sophia model, presents an elegant integration of the intuitive and the rational , the analytic and the synthetic, the creative and the logical to provide rich tools for understanding the cause of mental health issues and providing interventions that are empowering for the client. The artistic languages of colour, sound, movement, gesture, breathing and visualising weave a new dance of hope and promise throughout this work. Based on the four-fold anthroposophical medical model, Dr Sherwood brings together the wisdom of the east and west to create tools for flourishing mental health in the 21st century. This book is essential reading for counsellors,  psychotherapists, art therapists and anyone who has been a client, as well as all persons wishing to maximise their mental health and well being.
