Pastoral
and Spiritual issues
This
is in ADDITION to my qualifications as a secular counsellor and
psychotherapist. My initial analysis training included parapsychology
training.
The awards in this section are not particularly relevant unless your
issues are faith related.
I am
duty bound to point out that the Professorship, MA, PhD and other degrees I have been awarded are only relevant to pastoral work since they are in
pastoral counselling and pastoral therapy topics. These are therefore NOT
qualifications in mainstream therapy and no claim is made that they
are. The PhD is an earned religious qualification under US Law and the
Professorship involves an unpaid support role
in therapy related theology based subjects. I hold a Professorship of the UK Division (Chair) of the Seminary. The
degrees that I have been awarded required substantial submissions of
professional standard work.
Please note that these degrees
are earned degrees and not purchased or honorary degrees. They required
substantial work that has taken over 15 years to complete. The work has
also gained substantial recognition in different formats gaining a
clinical award of excellence in practical therapeutic use, and external
accreditation in training use, both in the UK. We are NOT medical
doctors. Awards include:
-MA, Social Work Ministry (awarded 2000)
-PhD, Pastoral Counselling (awarded 2001)
-D.Phil, Pastoral Leadership (awarded 2007)
-D.Phil, Life Coaching (awarded 2007).
-Professor
of Religious Studies, Psychotherapy and Counseling U.K. Division,
Interfaith Seminary
Denise
has also completed an earned degree with the Seminary and holds a
D.Phil in Pastoral Healing. The work she submitted has also be adapted
for training programmes and has formed part of programmes available now
in the UK with external accreditation.
We
therefore openly declare these awards and degrees to be religious and
pastoral in nature but clearly state that these are properly earned
awards, received legally and properly, and the work for which has
received accreditation and acclaim in other formats due to its quality
and professional nature. They are thus valid and meaningful awards to
recognised international standards.
-
As
well as having completed additional modality training as part of my
ongoing professional development (spiritual counselling, spiritual
psychotherapy, Theo therapy) I have worked extensively in a multi-faith
context.
-
I
have added to my core diploma in hypnosis and parapsychology with a
commitment to multi-faith counselling and healing.
-
I
am an ordained multi-faith
minister with a number of multi-faith groups, and have an MA, two
D.Phil's
and
a Doctorate (PhD) from the Interfaith Seminary of the Church
of
Seven Planes. These required real and very substantial
submissions and assessment of work that in another format has received
a clinical award of excellence and external training accreditation here
in the UK. Indeed the work submitted took over 15 years to
complete for these four awards. Indeed I
later won a clinical award of excellence for one of the personal
development programmes written as just one part of my PhD evidence
submission. In the USA they are recognised as earned Divinity awards.
The work submitted represented many years of academic and vocational
work and research.
-
My Professorship required the submission of further evidence (work
dating back to 1993) and my commitment to write, examine and assess
ongoing course material and student submissions. I am also a registered
Conversations with God resource. It involved and required
actual support work as well as being awarded on merit.
-
Please
note that being ordained and having the Rev or Revd title is not a
qualification. Being ordained is a commitment and acknowledgment of
faith that is very relevant in faith related therapy work. It should
not however be considered a "qualification" apart from in the sense of
spiritual commitment. It is a job title, not a qualification.
-
We
adhere to the National Occupational Standards for Spiritual Healing.
There
are no nationally accredited standards for multi faith pastoral
counselling at present, although therapists should have awards for each
method used in a secular sense, e.g. counselling and psychotherapy (see
above). However Social work and Mental health courses provide a broad
foundation including specific accredited training on respecting
individual cultural and spiritual identities.

The following information is repeated in order to ensure complete
clarity.
I (Paul) rarely use my PhD ,
Professorship or ministerial titles. This is because they are only
relevant to pastoral work. They are occasionally mentioned because of
my pastoral and faith healing work and multi-faith counselling work, in
which areas they are of great relevance. I am duty bound to point out
that my Professorship, D.Phils, MA and PhD are only relevant
to pastoral work since they are in pastoral counselling and healing
issues. These are therefore NOT qualifications in mainstream therapy
and no claim is made that they are.
Please note that these degrees
are earned degrees and not purchased or honorary degrees. They required
substantial work that has taken over 15 years to complete. The work has
also gained substantial recognition in different formats gaining a
clinical award of excellence in practical therapeutic use, and external
accreditation in training use, both in the UK.
We are NOT medical
doctors.
National standards, Codes
of practice
- I adhere to the
professional codes of conduct and ethics of the Royal Society for the
Promotion of Health ( of which I am a Fellow).
- I am a Fellow of the
Society for Holistic Coaches and Therapists.
www.societytherapistscoaches.com
- I adhere to the
standards of practice laid down in the TDLB standards of the Level IV
NVQ in Training and Development.
- I adhere to the
standards required by the Society of Holistic Therapists and Coaches (SHTC)
- I also adhere to the
National Occupational Standards for Hypnotherapy laid down in the UK.
- I also adhere to the
National Occupational Standards for Counselling laid down in the UK.
- In social care work I
adhere to the National Code
of Practice for Social Service Workers, except for where a conflict
exists with
primary codes of ethics.
- There are MANY more areas in
which we adhere to National Occupational Standards! And the number of
areas is growing as we ensure compliance. Click HERE
for more.
- In the specific area of
pastoral work I also adhere to the multi-faith commitment of multi
faith ministries to respect all faiths equally. Faith is only discussed
in context if appropriate. No imposition of any faith is ever made
whatsoever. I am an ordained minister with the Church of Seven Planes (offsite)
- I maintain professional
registrations, and am an Advisory Board member of the National UK
Therapists Register.
- I am a listed assessor
for both NVQ Training and Development awards and NVQ advice and
Guidance awards.
- I am committed to
various ASET nationally accredited courses that have recently become
available.
- Regulation is
planned as a spin off from the pending NOS Psychological Therapies. We
can not tell at this stage if this will be good or bad for the
industry. In principle it should enable a simpler bench mark for the
general public. In practice it may prevent holistic and eclectic work,
making it hard to integrate different therapies into one package. If
this side effect does occur, it is our intention to cease using the
terms "counsellor" and "psychotherapist", instead focusing on "holistic
therapist" and "life coach" using "counselling and psychotherapy
skills" and adhering to the NOS Healing instead.
Supervision and
NVQ Assessment
- I am also an
accredited NVQ assessor for the Advice and Guidance awards, and
training and development awards for a leading training company.
- I am additionally an
accredited hypnotherapy trainer in my own right with the Professional
Board of Hypnotherapy.
Back up and
support
I have a network of
professionals to provide me with assistance, supervision, advice and
support in practice. I also have a number of professionals with
specialties to advise on deeper issues relating to the many therapies
provided should I need to consult colleagues. I am committed to ongoing
professional development and updates. Indeed I am currently keeping two
courses running at any one time, at least one of which is ASET
accredited.
