What we offer: Where Science & the Sacred Meet
With over 34 years of multifaceted and diverse professional psychotherapeutic experience, we provide specialist transpersonal, and integrated conventional psychological care to assist you to experience a life that is truly your own, with meaning, purpose and self acceptance.
In this work we bring together the studies of the spectrums consciousness, psychology, spirituality, mysticism, ancient wisdom and contemplation traditions, and personal and collective mythology. This is an invitation to your own uncolonised imagination and psyche, and a deeper engagement with your own soul.
Conventional psychological approaches help you understand yourself as you have come to be, the patterns learned, roles adapted into, the story shaped by history and relationships. This work is valuable and necessary: it clarifies where patterns originate, builds healthier ways of relating, and strengthens agency. However, it can stop at managing the constructed self, without asking whether there's an authentic "you" beneath the adaptations.
A transpersonal approach reconnects you with that deeper self , one inherently relational to yourself, others, and the wider ecology and cosmos we belong to.
Transpersonal therapy does not replace the psychological work; it holds it within a larger container of connectedness. Transpersonal therapy recognizes that distress, disconnection, or emptiness can reflect more than personal history. These experiences are regarded as also reflecting homesickness for our place within a larger living whole: ecological, cosmological, spiritual. Transpersonal therapy becomes not only about becoming more truly you, but remembering you were always part of something vast, alive, intelligent, and continuous: your God/Goddess, Conscious Universal Energy, Quantum Field, your Internal Eternal Presence and Self.
Whether you're navigating a life transition, working through longstanding patterns, or sensing there is something more beneath the surface of your everyday identity we offer a space where you can find your way home to your truth and belonging, your life, your core self. Together, we can explore not just who you have learned to be, but who you authentically are, and the meaning and purpose for your existence.
“Our normal waking consciousness, rational consciousness as we call it, is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the filmiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.”
William James
This model of self-healing and sacred empowerment is facilitated by Christina Manfredi
Christina originally trained in conventional psychology and clinical mental health social work at the University of Western Australia and went on to train in many other therapeutic modalities. She understands and respects that healing has many pathways. Informed through her own professional training, continued research, and lived experience, she offers a service where modern psychology and ancient wisdom and transpersonal approaches are in rich conversation that invites differing possibilities for self-healing.
In 2010 Christina developed one of the first innovative shamanic psychology therapeutic approach in Australia. This approach was informed by the science of psychology and depth shamanic approaches that she had trained extensively in.
In her therapeutic facilitation she brings a rich breadth and depth of both professional expertise and personal lived experience to her work. She has worked as a therapist in Government, Community Sectors, and Private Practice for over 34 years. Through her own professional and personal journey, she has come to recognise that the most transformative psychotherapy creates a spacious, trusting, holding environment for the full complexity of human experience to be received, and witnessed.
In practice, Christina meets clients not only through skilful therapeutic skill and relationship, but equally through genuine compassionate presence, witness, open curiosity,and profound respect for the deeper conscious and unconscious processes unfolding within each person's purposeful and wise psyche. She identifies herself as a consciousness field therapist that offers a therapeutic perspective that respects the multidimensional aspects of our being: spiritual, energetic, psychological, physical, relational, and environmental.
She is a mother, grandmother, and has had the gift of a loving married life with her husband Wilhelm. The natural world of ocean, woodlands, mountains, and deserts are the places of her deepest nourishment.
Next appointments for new clients begin in March 2027.
