Are we the image we express to the world?

Are we the image we express to the world?
As a mirror only reflects the surface of our physical being, might our day to day behaviour and the conscious thoughts we believe define us reflect only the most superficial layers of ourselves?
1.
How much does this concept of self we choose to hold onto and share with the world reflect the being at our core?
2.
Is the self we assume we are and labour to project outwards truly in sync with our deepest feelings, intuitions and values?
3.
What is the cost to our psyche, emotional state and even physical health when there’s dissonance between the inner core and outward projection? How many seemingly external challenges might really be a result of our own inner state?
4.
If the internal relationship within us is fractured and dissonant, how does this impact our relationships with those around us?
My goal in working with you is simple. I’m not here to tell you your path, “fix” any conditions or give you a blueprint to life. I’m here to witness, prompt and provide space for you to go within, experience the being you are and all you’re capable of feeling. I believe getting in touch with and learning to fully know and experience ourselves is vital to the most profound and sustainable emotional, mental, and in some cases even physical healing.

I look forward to holding space and walking beside you on this exciting journey inwards.
“I early arrived at the insight that when no answer comes from within to the problems and complexities of life, they ultimately mean very little.” – Carl Jung

Elan Rubinstein
If you feel you’re:
- Being prompted by or struggling with present challenges in life
- Wishing to confront past experiences or issues that have, or might still be playing a role in your journey
- Simply curious about where you stand now and giving yourself the gift of time and space to get to know and experience some of yourself

Holistic Counselling
I chose the name Intrinsic Alchemy to describe the one ultimate goal of the holistic counselling service I offer: Building a relationship to support you on your path to first discover, then most authentically express your truest self.

Group Work
Whilst many prefer a 1 on 1 approach when dealing with their inner work and the vulnerability this might entail, working with others in a mediated, high trust confidential group setting can also provide unique opportunities in the process of self-discovery and actualisation.

Myself, My Background, My Beliefs

If you’re reading this page, maybe out of simple curiosity, or maybe because something on the website particularly resonated with your being, you might be interested in who I am and what brings me here. After all, in a field such as counselling it’s the personal relationship and rapport that’s equally important to any ideas or concepts I could offer.
