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.
Learn about different counselling approaches here.

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.

Weight Loss Self Hypnosis
Discover the transformative power of our Weight Loss Self-Hypnosis Audio Recordings Program, designed to work with both your subconscious mind and deeper layers of inner awareness often referred to as the superconscious. This structured audio program is created to support long-term behavioural change, helping you develop a healthier relationship with food, improve motivation, and strengthen positive lifestyle habits.
Through guided hypnotic suggestion, this program helps you shift automatic thought patterns that influence overeating, emotional eating, inconsistent motivation, and unhealthy food choices. Instead of relying on willpower alone, the recordings support gradual internal change that encourages a more balanced and confident approach to weight management.
What This Weight Loss Self-Hypnosis Program Helps You With
This audio program is designed to support:
-
Healthier everyday food choices
-
Stronger motivation to maintain your weight goals
-
Reduced emotional and stress-related eating patterns
-
Improved consistency with positive lifestyle habits
-
A clearer mental focus on your ideal self-image
-
Greater enjoyment of movement, activity, and wellbeing
It works by using repeated guided hypnotic suggestions that reinforce supportive thought patterns over time.
What’s Included in the Program
Recording 1 – Daytime Drop the Weight Self-Hypnosis
This daytime session is designed to support your mindset throughout the day. It helps reinforce positive decision-making, motivation, and awareness around food choices while you are active and engaged in daily life.
Recording 2 – Nighttime Drop the Weight Self-Hypnosis
This calming nighttime recording is designed to be listened to before sleep. It works with your subconscious mind during rest to reinforce positive behavioural patterns and support a peaceful, goal-aligned mindset.
Bonus eBook – Weight Loss Support Guide
Alongside the audio recordings, you will receive a supportive eBook containing motivational tools designed to help you stay focused and organised throughout your journey.
This guide supports you psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically, offering structured encouragement to help maintain consistency and clarity in your weight loss process.
How to Use the Recordings
This program is flexible and designed to fit into your lifestyle.
-
Use the daytime recording during morning or daytime hours
-
Use the nighttime recording before sleep
-
Many people choose to use both daily for consistent reinforcement
The key benefit comes from repetition and allowing the suggestions to become part of your natural thinking patterns over time.
Creating Long-Term Change Through Self-Hypnosis
Rather than focusing on short-term dieting approaches, this program is designed to support gradual internal change. The goal is to help you naturally adopt healthier behaviours by shifting subconscious thought patterns that influence daily choices.
Over time, this can support more consistent motivation, improved self-control, and a stronger sense of alignment with your wellness goals.

The reason the recordings are daytime or night time is because not everyone will be comfortable with doing this at night as one might fall asleep after a busy day. If you easily fall asleep, the daytime recording is best. If you are more comfortable doing this recording during the day, this works best for you. Most people will choose both because sometimes you want to do your self hypnosis during the day, other times you don't get time so you have the perfect opportunity to do the night time recording,.
Tips and safety for self hypnosis
Listen to the Daytime recordings sitting up so that you do not fall asleep. If you are falling asleep throughout the recordings try doing the recording first thing in the morning when you have just woken up. On wakeup we are still in theta brainwave and more suggestible at that time of the morning, for new information. Some people simply cannot stay awake when it comes to this kind of hypnosis and need to listen to hypnosis recordings when they have just woken. Never listen to a recording behind the wheel of a vehicle. Use headphones or ear plugs to listen to your recording, if you are listening to these recordings directly from a laptop without ear phones or head phones, it wont be as loud and clear as with headphones on. Never listen to a hypnosis recording while walking, jogging or in control of a moving vehicle. These recordings have been made in a recording studio by Clinical Hypnotherapist, Tara J Clarke.
