Kim Billington

With 38% of Gen Z identifying as ‘spiritual,’ how might we meet this cultural shift and curiosity about the existence of the Soul after death? 
 
Integrating Spiritual Conversations in Therapy meets the growing need to extend our therapeutic knowledge to include quantum theories of interconnectedness, and neuroscientific studies into relational energies, radiating from the heart when people meet. 
 
Research shows spirituality plays an important role in mental health and resilience, yet soul and spirit are rarely addressed in counselling education.

Integrated with narrative therapy gems and Carl Rogers’ humanistic core qualities of presence and non-judgmental acceptance, principles also foundational to many spiritual traditions, this book shines a light where the clinical and the sacred quietly meet.
