Even though you’ve set out on the path that you thought would lead to happiness, there still seems to be something missing. You thought you did everything right, but somehow, feel unfulfilled and frustrated, as you ask yourself, “Who am I?” or “What do I need?”. At home, with friends, or at work, you hold yourself back, believing that you don’t deserve to take up space. In your everyday life, you want to feel seen, heard, and understood, but don’t know where to turn. There’s a sense of disconnection keeping you from who you really are and how you’d like to show up in the world.

The therapeutic relationship is a 'collaborative' one, with a focus on establishing and maintaining a safe and trusting relationship with clients, so we can openly explore patterns of thinking and interacting that get in the way of being the person you wish to be - I have a large toolkit of strategies to choose from! I provide secure, on-line video counselling and I also provide clinical supervision and consultation for therapists in private practice. I have just published a book "Chronic Pain My Journey", Don S. Hunter, 2023. Available at Amazon and local bookstores.

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
