Combining the intimacy of therapy with the liberating heart of Asia’s most refined spiritual psychologies.

• Achieve optimal mental and spiritual wellbeing with personal counseling by leading practitioners of nondual psychotherapy.
• Enhance your relationships and empower your professional work with the experience of natural presence.
• Discover "natural meditation" — the experience of being in a state of profound peace and clarity without having to do anything at all.
• Increase your capacity to sustain and enjoy genuine fulfillment.
• Learn how to truly enjoy the present moment, without needing to compulsively process the past, or fear the future.
  

Radiant mind counseling offers a unique approach to optimal spiritual and psychological wellbeing. The skills we offer combine decades of practice in Asian contemplative traditions combined with professional training in Western psychotherapeutic disciplines. Our nondual therapy has been acknowledged in international forums for the authenticity and effectiveness with which it translates the liberating heart of Asian wisdom into Western therapeutic environments.

If you feel our work could benefit you, we invite you to contact us by email or phone. We would be privileged to work with you.

In person and by phone (top)

We offer face-to-face sessions whenever this is convenient and possible. We offer telephone sessions throughout the world.

We find that telephone sessions can be just as rich as face-to-face meetings. The contemplative mood of our work lends itself to the quiet and intimacy that arises when we mindfully attend to the inner workings of our feelings and beliefs.

During telephone sessions we enjoy a subtle rhythm of speaking, listening and silence that connects our mind-streams in a relationship that transcends physical distance. Some people speak with us from their regular meditation space. It helps to clarify their energy and focus their mind. Our sessions together strengthen their meditation and keep the experience of pure wisdom mind fresh and alive in their own environment.

Communicating by telephone is also appealing because it gives you the freedom to receive coaching in the peace and comfort of your own environment. This lets you process and savor the fruition of our work together, without needing to disturb the flow of your experience by changing your physical location. It also means you can continue to receive coaching when you are travelling.

As part of our travel schedule we make time for our long distance clients to see us personally, if they would like this and if it is possible.

Your first session (top)

During our first session we will spend time becoming related in order to best appreciate what you are seeking and how we can work together in a creative and rewarding way.

This session is far more than a theoretical introduction to this work. We engage with you right away, showing you how we observe and release emotional and intellectual fixations as they arise, for this is the essence of our work. It's also the only way to really appreciate the flavor of our approach.

This will allow you to make an informed decision about the fruitfulness of working together over a longer time. No matter whether you decide to reconnect or look elsewhere for your spiritual needs, we guarantee that this session will be of immense value in clarifying the psycho-spiritual methods that are consistent with your own needs and objectives. If we both see clear value in working together we will schedule future sessions at times that are convenient for you.

In any one session our work together can move smoothly and organically between phases of highly committed and dynamic coaching to periods of shared silence where we enjoy the unconditioned and problem-free nature of awareness itself. These sessions will move fluidly and naturally between processing the various issues that block access to the experience of unconditioned mind, and refining your experience of unbounded awareness.

Much of our work is focussed on showing you how to access and maintain these experiences of natural meditation for yourself. If you don't already have a meditation practice we can also help you design a practice that supports your work and family commitments.

Fees and Logistics (top)

The standard rate for a one-hour session is US$120. This fee includes the cost of telephone connection including international charges when this is necessary. This rate can be adjusted to accommodate people's financial circumstances. The rate for face-to-face and phone sessions is the same. We don't lock you into a fixed number of sessions. The frequency of sessions can change over the weeks and months in order to accommodate your needs and financial circumstances. Also, continuing or discontinuing doesn't become a big deal.

You are free to reschedule one session at a time and to adjust the frequency of your sessions. If we are working by phone, payment by check needs to be received before a scheduled session. Prior to our first session we will ask you to send us a photo of yourself together with background information. If you wish to submit this over the internet we will give you a web address to the form
