ESSENCE COUNCELING
In 1996, I met Faisal Muqaddam, the founder of the Diamond Logos teachings, a comprehensive map and methodology designed to retrieve the connection to one’s essential self. This profound work became a central pillar of my practice, leading me to organize and facilitate large-scale retreats across Italy for over a decade. As a senior teacher of these teachings, I offer Essence Counselling as a unique opportunity to explore this path of self-realization. My practice is primarily focused online, allowing for deep, transformative work from anywhere, though I also offer limited in-person sessions for those located in Devon.
The Path of Essence Counselling
My commitment to Essence Counselling is rooted in over three decades of personal and professional immersion in the evolution of consciousness. This journey began in the late 80s, where I spent years in India studying meditation and the nature of the self. These decades of self-inquiry allow me to bring a rare depth to my Essence Counselling practice, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to help you reconnect with the fundamental qualities of your being.
Throughout my career, I have facilitated transformative processes on several continents, always with the goal of accompanying individuals back to their true nature. As a senior teacher of the Diamond Logos teachings, I utilize Essence Counselling to provide a precise methodology for retrieving the “essential” parts of ourselves that often become obscured by life’s conditioning.
By choosing Essence Counselling, you are engaging in a process of spiritual psychological inquiry. I offer this specialized support primarily through my online practice, providing a consistent and sacred space for this work to unfold. For those seeking Essence Counselling in person, I also maintain a limited practice within Devon. It is an honor to support you in discovering the clarity, presence, and wonder that arise through this dedicated path.
“Spiritual development, as I understand it, is about compelling ourselves, through the power of our own inspired will and intention, to actually evolve. And in order to evolve—to consciously evolve—you first need to get to know the multidimensional nature of who you are and how you are. You need to be able to recognize and understand what constitutes your interior world—the infinite nature of the spiritual ground of your own being, the higher human capacities that make conscious evolution possible, and also the unconscious conditioned structures that can obstruct and obscure that potential. You need to examine the fundamental dimensions of the self, both relative and absolute; understand the unique challenges and potentials of the cultural context in which we find ourselves; and cultivate those higher human capacities that can enable you to participate in such a bold and significant task as the evolution of the interior of the cosmos.” – Andrew Cohen
