  • S8 | E6 Integrating Spirituality and Psychotherapy + Mediumship ft Lindsay Percival
    Mar 5 2025

    Send us a text

    This podcast features my conversation with Lindsay Percival, focusing on the integration of spirituality and psychotherapy, along with talking about Lindsay's practice as a medium. Lindsay shares her journey from journalism to therapy, emphasising her spiritual awakening through experiences with healing energy.

    Some of the many topics covered include:

    - Lindsay discusses the intersection of psychotherapy and mediumship, highlighting how her mediumship work aims to provide comfort to those grieving and to help heal relationships that may have been strained before a loved one's passing. She expresses her belief in the continuity of the soul beyond a physical end.

    - Lindsay introduces her program called "Soul Power," which aims to help individuals connect with their authentic selves and personal power. She discusses the importance of understanding one's soul's yearnings and the transformative journey involved.

    - We cover various therapeutic techniques used in her practice, including visualisation, creative imagination, and the development of a "Soul Care Plan" to help clients manifest their desires and needs.

    - A significant theme is the need for individuals to reconnect with themselves to gain clarity about their lives and desires. Lindsay emphasises the importance of intuition in therapy and the role of the therapist in facilitating this connection.

    - The conversation touches on the importance of self-love and the ongoing journey of personal development, encouraging individuals to validate themselves and cultivate healthier relationships.

    - Lindsay gives some great advice to therapists in training and also some very valuable general life advice.
