Bernadette Devine trained with the Institute of Psychosynthesis and works to the Institute's psychology philosophy:
"The capacity to listen to soul is dependent on the ability to be responsive at the level of one’s feelings to the environment – both inner and outer – in which we are living. Living in the rational world as we do, particularly in the West, this ability is often lost and we therefore live our lives far from our essential self.
To recover this capacity, we need to learn to be psychologically minded, to learn to self-reflect and to recover a more soulful way of being in the world".
Bernadette has trained to Masters degree level and is also a member of recognised professional associations, works in business consultancy, psychotherapy private practice, and supervises therapists and managers. Bernadette also has a coaching consultancy and is an international speaker on mental wellness.
Bernadette has practises in Buckinghamshire, and London Bridge and works in the City as a Business Consultant and Risk Manager.
Bernadette is passionate about psychotherapy and its potential to create meaningful change in individuals experiencing soul trauma at the personal and organizational level.Qualifications & Training
