Overview
Historically speaking, psycho-social disciplines like counselling and social work have considered spirituality to be outside of their scope of practice. We could even say that religious beliefs and religious upbringings have been seen as problems to be overcome in therapeutic work. This has certainly changed in recent decades, yet while many practitioners may have their own dearly held spiritual beliefs and practices, we may have been taught that spirituality is a purely personal matter to be kept apart from our clinical work.
However, in the bicultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand a wide range of spiritual practices and beliefs are becoming recognised and respected. What does this mean for us as practitioners? If it is ok to allow spirituality to become part of the conversation, how do we do this in ways that are ethical, respectful, and possibly even challenging for our clients?
This workshop is an opportunity to explore some ideas about spirituality as a resource in our counselling practice. We will consider ways of unpacking the ordinary spirituality of everyday life with our clients, a spirituality that is available to anyone, whether or not they hold explicit faith beliefs. And for those who do have a faith available to them, how this faith might be brought into the conversation as witness, guide, inspiration or container – among other things.
