What Is Holistic Counselling?
Holistic counselling is a whole-person professional counselling approach that looks at different parts of your life and how they affect your emotional wellbeing.
Instead of focusing on one problem alone, holistic counselling understands that your thoughts, feelings, body, relationships, past, environment, and life situations are all connected.
For example, ongoing stress might not just be about having too much to do. It could also involve relationship issues, past experiences, boundaries, self-esteem, lifestyle pressures, or feeling out of touch with your needs.
Holistic counselling gives you the chance to explore these links and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Depending on your needs, holistic counselling may look at:
-
Emotional wellbeing: Understanding your feelings and triggers.
-
Thoughts and mindset: Exploring beliefs, self-talk, and perspectives.
-
Past experiences: Seeing how your history influences now.
-
Relationships and attachment: Looking at connection, boundaries, and patterns.
-
Physical wellbeing: How stress and emotions relate to your body.
-
Values and purpose: Discovering what matters most to you.
-
Personal growth: Building self-awareness, confidence, and understanding your needs.
Spirituality and personal beliefs can be part of counselling if they’re important to you, but they are never forced or assumed.
The goal is to understand you as a whole person and support your emotional wellbeing in a way that respects your experiences and values.

How Is Holistic Counselling Different From Traditional Counselling?
Traditional counselling also looks at a person’s relationships, history, feelings, and thoughts.
Holistic counselling puts special focus on seeing you as a whole person and how all parts of your life interact.
At Signs of Abundance, holistic counselling combines professional counselling with a broader whole-person view.
Instead of only focusing on one difficulty, sessions explore emotional, psychological, relationship, behaviour, and personal factors affecting you.
There’s no need to follow any spiritual belief or alternative therapies unless you want to.
The approach is grounded in counselling, centred on your needs and what you want to explore.
Find out more about the difference between holistic and traditional counselling here.
What Does a Holistic Counselling Session Involve?
Every session is unique because everyone’s life and needs are different.
Some sessions may focus on talking through tough feelings or experiences.
Others might explore relationship habits, personal beliefs, behaviours, boundaries, self-worth, or life changes.
Depending on your goals, sessions can include:
-
Reflective conversation and self-exploration.
-
Understanding your emotional and behavioural patterns.
-
Seeing how past experiences shape your present.
-
Identifying your strengths and resources.
-
Developing practical coping skills.
-
Mindfulness and relaxation tools when suitable.
-
Exploring your values, identity, and meaning.
-
Working towards more self-awareness and emotional balance.
Tara’s approach is integrative, empathic, strengths-based, and psychodynamic, meaning she uses different counselling methods tailored to you, not a rigid formula.
You stay actively involved, deciding what feels right and what you want to achieve.

A Holistic Approach That Respects Your Individual Beliefs
Holistic counselling means different things to different people.
For some, it’s about seeing the link between emotions, thoughts, body, and relationships.
For others, it may include values, spirituality, identity, and purpose.
At Signs of Abundance, your experience guides the process.
You don’t need to be spiritual or have experience with holistic therapies.
If you prefer a practical, grounded counselling style, that’s welcome.
If personal meaning, mindfulness, or spiritual views matter to you, these can be explored with your agreement.
The aim is never to impose a view but to provide a space where you can explore what feels authentic to you.

FAQ – Guided Meditations by Tara J Clarke
What are guided meditations and how do they work?
Guided meditations are structured audio experiences where you are gently led into a relaxed state using voice, breath awareness, visualisation, and focused attention. They help quiet the conscious mind so you can access deeper levels of relaxation, emotional processing, and subconscious awareness. Many people use them to reduce stress, improve clarity, and support emotional healing.
What do I need to do to listen to these guided meditation?
To get the most from your guided meditation, choose a quiet and comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed. You can listen using either wired or Bluetooth headphones, depending on what feels best for you.
Make sure you are sitting or lying down in a relaxed position where you feel safe and supported. These meditations are designed to guide you into deep relaxation, so it’s important that you are not engaged in activities that require your full attention.
For safety reasons, do not listen while driving, riding a bike, operating machinery, or walking in busy environments. Some meditations may induce a deeply relaxed or sleep-like state, so it’s best to only use them when you are able to fully rest and receive the experience without distraction.
What types of meditations are included in your collection?
The meditations cover a wide range of themes including grounding, chakra balancing, inner child healing, intuition development, emotional release, subconscious reprogramming, confidence building, relaxation, and spiritual connection. There are also more advanced meditations focused on channeling, energy awareness, and deep inner exploration.
Can meditation help with anxiety and stress?
Yes, it actually does not matter what you are meditating to becasue the concept is always the same, to take you into a relaxed state of alpha brainwave where you are calm and peaceful. In this way, regular meditation can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress by calming the nervous system and shifting brainwave activity into a more relaxed state. Many people find that guided meditation helps them feel more centred, emotionally regulated, and able to respond rather than react to life situations.
What is the difference between chakra meditations and other guided meditations?
Chakra meditations are focused on the body’s energy centres and are designed to help balance emotional, mental, and energetic wellbeing. Other guided meditations may focus more on relaxation, mindfulness, subconscious healing, or specific goals such as confidence, intuition, or inner child healing.
What is the meditation for intuition used for?
The meditation for intuition is designed to help you quiet mental noise and strengthen your connection to inner guidance. Many people use it to improve decision-making, trust their instincts, and develop a stronger sense of inner knowing and clarity. It helps to build your connection of confused to trusting and believing in the power of your spirit and inner higher self or subconscious, whatever you refer to it as.
What is inner child meditation?
Inner child meditation is a guided process that helps you connect with younger emotional parts of yourself. It is often used to release emotional wounds, heal past experiences, and build self-compassion, self-love, acceptance of your past and emotional security.
What is meditation for channelling and astral projection?
This type of meditation is designed for deeper states of awareness where individuals may explore expanded consciousness, intuitive insight, or symbolic inner experiences. It focuses on relaxation, safety, and guided awareness rather than forcing any specific outcome.
What do the Angel Chakra Meditations do?
Each Angel Chakra Meditation is designed to support one of your main chakra energy centres while also connecting you with a specific Archangel who is associated with that frequency. Together, they help you bring balance, awareness, and emotional alignment to different areas of your mind, body, and energetic system.
Each chakra relates to a different aspect of your wellbeing — such as safety, emotional expression, personal power, love, intuition, and spiritual connection. When these energy centres are out of balance, you may feel blocked, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself in certain areas of life.
The Archangels within these meditations act as supportive energetic guides. They help you become more aware of the patterns, emotions, or thought processes connected to each chakra, while gently encouraging balance and healing.
For example, in the throat chakra meditation, Archangel Michael is often experienced as a protective and strengthening presence. His energy supports you in feeling safe to express your truth, communicate more clearly, and release fear around speaking up or being heard. This can help shift you out of self-doubt or suppression and into more confident, authentic expression.
Other chakra meditations work in a similar way — helping you feel more grounded, open-hearted, empowered, intuitive, or spiritually connected depending on the energy centre being focused on.
Overall, these meditations are designed to help you feel more aligned within yourself, release energetic blocks, and reconnect with a deeper sense of inner guidance, calm, and emotional balance.
There is an angelic guided meditation for each of the chakra energy centres.
Do I need experience to do these meditations?
No experience is required. All meditations are suitable for beginners and also beneficial for those who already have an established meditation practice. You simply need a quiet space where you can relax and listen without interruption.
How often should I listen to guided meditations?
This depends on your personal goals. Some people listen daily for stress relief or emotional support, while others use them a few times a week for deeper inner work. Consistency is more important than duration.
Can I listen to meditations before sleep?
Yes, many of these meditations are suitable for listening before sleep. They can help calm the mind, release tension, and support deeper rest. Some people also use them to help with insomnia or racing thoughts.
Are these meditations spiritual or psychological?
They can be both. Some meditations focus on mindfulness and relaxation such as the Grounding Meditation, while others such as the Meditation for Intuition, Channelling and Astral Travel or Chakra energy centres, incorporate spiritual concepts such as energy awareness, intuition, and inner guidance. You can engage with them in whatever way feels most comfortable and aligned for you.
