Hi Hemingway,

If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are not so much looking for someone to help you solve problems as you are looking for someone to encourage and inspire your growth.  I have had much experience with various forms of therapy and have found traditional psychotherapy to be expensive and time-consuming without resulting in real, significant change, although there have been times in my life when I found it comforting.

If you have a specific problem or problems you need help solving, like Eliana above, I highly recommend Social Workers (LSW).  They are busy people with no time to waste so tend to cut right to the chase: You bring a problem and the two of you brainstorm a solution.  More than once, I have received significant help from this direction and once, the problem was solved in a single session!

On the other hand, if you are looking for someone to assist you in spiritual growth, Spiritual Counselling is the way to go.  A gifted Spiritual Counsellor can help you connect more deeply to the wisdom of your own soul and help you deepen your spiritual practice.  If this person also has intuitive abilities, as some do,  they can sometimes deliver wisdom from “higher” sources.  This is the work I do myself and you can visit my website through my profile on this site, if you have interest.

Whatever you decide to do, it sounds like you are on a strong path – power to you!
