Peter Murray Profile
I’ve followed my interest in personal and spiritual growth for more than 40 years and use modalities learned from various mainstream and alternative sources including BEd(Counselling) and Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki. I’m a retired psychologist who trained with the Australian Society of Hypnosis. My wide love of learning and teaching continues. My holistic therapy practice provides workshops, classes and consultations to help you apply knowledge in practical ways for self-development and self-care.
Hi there. Thanks for reading my page. Even when you’ve been learning, healing and growing for years, it’s often hard to know what the next thing for you is . . . the wave rising now to take you further than before.
Well, I’m launching some workshops in the new year, packages of guided
meditations for personal growth and spiritual development.
Can you imagine being a surfer on the face of a wave, zig zagging past historic
conditioning into new states of consciousness?
If you’re interested in learning how to cruise in this space, perhaps I can help you
ride a wave of expanding experience.
Trust your instincts.
Come and learn more at the Monday January 19 Information Night with some of my colleagues.
Register here.

How I Work
My goal always is to assist you to be more fully who you are. You will find it easy to brief me on what you want out of any session and we will agree on an outcome and discuss the approach. I want you to feel comfortable with whatever modality or mix of them we adopt. Some of my services are stand alone consultations, some are in set packages, and some, such as therapy, are somewhat open ended. Many can be useful for ongoing health and wellbeing. If you want different, book some time with me online now or with the lovely front desk people.
Fees for Services
Consultations with me generally are 50 minutes for $150. The Flower Essence service is $10 extra for materials. Spiritual Dowsing is best done in a sequence until a benchmark is established, a kind of ‘starter pack’ for new clients. I have an introductory discount on Energy Work until June 25 2025: when you commit to use a set of three 50minute sessions within four weeks of purchase, $330.
SERVICES
Transpersonal therapy is a positive approach to therapy that addresses the needs of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. It aims to assist you to develop a more fulfilling life by discovering meaning and purpose, connecting with your spiritual nature, tapping into creativity, and appreciating your place in the larger context of existence.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Three facts: It’s good to talk, movement helps sense-making, and nature boosts wellbeing. In the pandemic I reached out to people who didn’t like telehealth with Walk and Talk Therapy. The format caught on. If you’d like to join me for a stroll, a chat, and some mindfulness, a bushland trail starts 100 metres from Essential Healing Centre.
Energy Work
Energy work is a non invasive way to relax and activate your body’s natural healing responses. A session has a goal, includes energy from hands on and off the body, and may include a visualisation. You remain fully dressed in comfortable clothing. Energy work can bring balance, tranquilly, or vitality as part of your self maintenance.
Dowsing uses a pendulum or other tool to amplify intuition, and yes-no answers to gather information. In addition, spiritual dowsing sends information to clear negative influences and support health and wellbeing. It uses charts and can be done remotely. The starter pack is $360 for sessions over two weeks, two in person and one distant.
I dowse to dispense flower essences in a flower essence session or as part of another consultation. We discuss your need and I dowse for the essence, some words to support that consciousness, and prepare a bottle of drops to take over the coming days. Add $10 for materials to the standard fee of $150.
Card Reading
A card spread is an intuitive tool to help you clarify your next steps. The purpose is to assist you to become aware of relevant factors, insights and strategies. One spread is designed to look for how to succeed in a situation. Another seeks to surface some of the watchpoints and resources in a situation.
Meditation
I understand many ways to meditate and now simply use what works for me. I rejoice when assisting others to discover what works for them. We start with simple meditations for beginners and those who find meditation difficult. You will run experiments in the laboratory of yourself, which truly is science for spiritual seekers.
Quirky Stuff – for those who are game
Cambridge Dictionary says quirky is anything unusual in an attractive and interesting way. My services don’t have an obvious place to indulge my passion for unusual stuff that grabs my attention. So the first Quirky Stuff is a book club that explores how nature improves our health. Good Nature by Kathy Willis, a scientist inspired by Kew Gardens, collates research on the many ways nature is good for us, explains all about smelling the roses and endorses tree hugging. There are entry requirements (photos of your plants), and activities (includes a ritual for cocreating a garden with nature). Please call for details.
