Psychosynthesis is a philosophy for living, a set of principles, and a dynamic, open-ended approach to personal and transpersonal integration and synthesis. It is an amazing process that helps to foster collaboration with self and the integration of personality so that you will move towards your potential in life.
Wherever applied, psychosynthesis seeks to enable the person or group to discover and take the next step toward greater inner freedom and responsible expression in the world. Psychosynthesis teaches us to consciously choose to co-operate with our natural growth process, which leads us to order and harmony within both the individual and society.

Psychosynthesis dates from 1910 in the early work of Italian psychiatrist, Dr Roberto Assagioli. From the beginning, Assagioli recognised the need for a broad conception of human nature that included the higher transpersonal dimension.
He combined methods and ideas of modern Western psychology, along with spiritually orientated Eastern traditions. This evolving approach provides a framework to facilitate self-development and personal growth, as well as a means to release the most sublime aspects of human nature.
In psychosynthesis, we learn to recognise and experience the self as an active or directing agent of will, capable of harmonising the various psychological elements composing our personality.
We learn to move to deeper levels of our centre of awareness, the transpersonal or higher self. It is at this level that we begin our journey towards experiencing and living with greater love, joy, beauty, wisdom, compassion, creativity, and universal consciousness.
The holistic approach to psychosynthesis is used in resolving psychological tensions and conflicts, as well as guiding individuals and groups in actualising their capacities and creativity.
Psychosynthesis is used from elementary school to college level to foster self-reliance, increase self-renewal, and to unlock students’ potential for inspiration and self-discovery.
Psychosynthesis is used in the process of healing in life-threatening diseases. This process requires the use of the will to find meaning and purpose in life and is used to alleviate pain and stress so that the natural process of healing can occur.
The death of the physical body is viewed as a natural life process. Individuals are given tools for communicating their fears, memories, wishes and joys. Psychosynthesis techniques are used with family members for dealing with this natural phenomenon.
Psychosynthesis is used to cope with the problems of grief and to prevent it from being repressed and diverted into psychosomatic illness. The grieved one is taught how to release feelings and to begin to move back into the mainstream of life.
The psychosynthesis theory and practice is being increasingly utilised to develop individuals, teams and organisations of all kinds, including business, government, healthcare, and not-for-profit organisations.
An older person responds readily to psychosynthesis because of its appeal to the functions of mind and feeling. Special methods are used to help them experience the qualities humour, love, goodwill, and to feel unity with all life.
Psychosynthesis is a process that promotes personal growth through identifying with the self and then integrating the various parts of ourselves.
The education program used at Adrienne Jeffries Counselling is a revolutionary step-by-step method to encourage change and integration on personal, transpersonal and global levels.
