SCANIA PRICE-
THE LIFE YOU LOVE
Everyone has two journeys to make through life.
There is the outer journey with its variety of incidents and the mile-
stones…
There is also an inner journey, a spiritual Odyssey, with a secret history
of its own.
( William R. Inge 1869-1954)
I am a fully qualified therapist, using a transpersonal method of counselling. This ap-
proach embraces and draws upon the wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions and
developments in modern psychology.
Transpersonal psychology is a process of self-actualisation and self-realisation, which
helps you to discover the deep core of your essential self. Therapy works by building
and expanding on your unique qualities, spirituality and self-development - helping
you to utilise your free will and inner resources to remove inner conflicts and create a
sense of balance and harmony in your life. I draw from a diverse range of techniques,
which will be taught and supported in a way that you can continue to apply beyond
therapy. Crucially, these techniques will be tailored to your specific needs and per-
sonal circumstances. The emphasis on individual development in transpersonal coun-
selling is to ensure the effective cultivation of intuitive ways of knowing what comple-
ments a person's unique psychological and spiritual being. This I believe supports and
enhances a person's inherent striving for freedom, unity and life fulfilment.
Some of the methods I may use in our sessions:
body awareness and movement, creative work, Breathwork, Aromatherapy, guided vi-
sualisation, meditation, goal-setting, gestalt work, psychosynthesis work, Internal fam-
ily systems, development of the imagination and intuition, art work, sound therapy..…
I treat each session as a unique experience, so there is no prescriptive way I work.
I am a member of the B.A.C.P (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy
and I choose to abide by their code of ethics. A copy of this can be downloaded from

Working Arrangements for the sessions
• Each session will last for 1 hour The fee for each session will be ………….
• If I am unable to keep our appointment due to illness, I will give you as much notice
as possible and offer an alternative date. If you are unable to attend a session,
please give me at least 24hrs notice. Any missed appointments or cancellations with
less than 24 hours notice will be charged for. If you miss two consecutive appoint-
ments without prior notice, I will cancel our contract.
• My training and experience enables me to provide you with a safe and supportive
setting for in-depth therapeutic work. Where I feel another specialist counsellor
would be more appropriate I will discuss the possibility of referral with you.
• Although Everything discussed in our session is confidential, I do make notes that I
will discuss and share with my supervisor. This enables me to ensure that I am work-
ing to my best ability and in your best interests. However your name and address
are not kept with these notes and no one will know to whom my notes refer apart
from me.
• Please be aware that alcohol and recreational drugs will seriously affect your ability
to gain insight from our work together. I would therefore request that you ensure
that such substances do not affect you at the time of our session together. If I be-
lieve that you are unduly influenced by drugs or alcohol I have a right and duty to
discontinue the session.
•
I have a legal responsibility to report any on-going child abuse, terrorist activities,
money laundering, drug and sex trafficking. I also have my personal boundaries and if
you admit to being responsible for on-going animal abuse/neglect, then I must inform
you that I will inform relevant authorities, so confidentiality will be negated.
• I believe you will know when you are ready to finish counselling. At this time we will
work together to ensure that this ending is productive for you.
Please read this contract carefully
Theses are the working boundaries and ground rules for our counselling relationship. If
you do not understand anything or have any questions about them, please discuss
them with me before signing your contract.
I consent to notes of my work within these sessions being presented for professional
supervision. Although I expect Scania to keep my work with her confidential, I under-
stand that she has a right and duty to break that confidentiality in a situation where I,
or others are at risk of serious harm if she does not do so.
