The Lifestyle
A course designed for anyone seeking a meaningful career helping others with knowledge from a higher source of truth.
Is Spiritual Counselling for you?
People come to this training from different starting points.
Some already work with clients. Some are ready for a different career.
Others have spent years being the person everyone turns to.
Already a counsellor or psychologist?
Add a deeper framework to your practice. Understand what sits beneath the patterns, beliefs and behaviours your clients bring.
Considering a career change?
Train towards a profession, not a certificate. Spiritual Counselling is work you can build a practice around, and no prior counselling qualification or experience is required to begin.
The one people open up to?
You already have the empathy and the life experience. This training gives you the framework, the knowledge and the professional standing to turn that natural ability into meaningful work.
Understand human behaviour through a spiritual framework.
There is more behind human behaviour than psychology alone can explain.
Spiritual Counselling provides a different framework for understanding why people are the way they are. It brings knowledge from the Spiritual World into the understanding of human behaviour and teaches you how to apply that knowledge within a structured counselling methodology.

IN PERSON
Within reach of Mornington
You study face to face at Sphinx Spiritual School of Learning in Mornington, Victoria, Australia. 30 days of class across 15 weekends.
ONLINE
Everywhere else
Anywhere else in Australia, or overseas, you study online. Wednesday evenings 6pm to 9pm, plus one Saturday a month, 9.30am to 4.30pm.
Six questions worth answering honestly.
If you answer yes to most of these, it is worth having a conversation about studying Spiritual Counselling.
Are you drawn to the bigger questions about why people are the way they are?
Do people already come to you when something is going wrong in their lives?
Are you open to bringing spiritual knowledge into the way you understand people and their behaviour?
Are you interested in understanding what sits beneath a repeating problem, rather than only what is presenting now?
Are you willing to examine your own patterns as closely as you would a client's?
Can you picture yourself working with your own clients two years from now?
What real students say;
I felt the healing power of Spiritual Counselling from the first session I had as a client, and realised I had found the missing link in how I wanted to work with my clients. I am studying it a second time and still finding new depths to it.

By far one of the most challenging and rewarding courses I have ever undertaken.
I left the course with a new direction for my life.
Kylie A
Medium and Spiritual Counsellor
A remarkable journey in understanding the origins of human behaviour and why things happen in our lives. The course is delivered with passion, directness and honesty in a safe and supportive environment. The personal and professional growth has changed my life.
Sue M
Spiritual Counsellor
I have a love of study and learning and have undertaken many courses throughout my journey. However, the most profound I have ever experienced is the Spiritual Counselling course taught by Pearl Rogers at Sphinx Spiritual. This course not only teaches the skills required to work professionally as a counsellor, but also offers incredible personal development. It provides a fundamental understanding of ourselves, our patterns and what holds us back.
The expertise and balance provided throughout the course allowed me to step confidently into the role of a counsellor and help others on their own journeys. The information taught comes straight from spirit and is delivered with purity and integrity. It is a wealth of knowledge that cannot be found anywhere else.
I cannot recommend this course highly enough. It has completely changed the trajectory of my journey, both professionally and personally.
The personal development days offered throughout the year provide further learning, the opportunity to explore specific topics and ongoing support for everyone who attends.
This course is fundamentally life-changing.
Allison D
Medium and Spiritual Counsellor
I am incredibly grateful to have had this opportunity, the change from which effects my core and therefore every facet of my life.
I have spent much of my life engaged in some form of personal growth and self-development. I’ve experienced many forms of conventional therapy, breathwork, tapping, workshops - you name it. So when I say that this course is, by an enormous margin, the most profound opportunity for change I have ever experienced, I don’t say it lightly. It is completely unparalleled.
There are many reasons for this. The depth and nature of the information received. The honesty and accountability demanded throughout. The willingness of the facilitators and teachers to show up authentically, embodying the very teachings they are asking you to explore. There is nowhere to hide, but equally, you are supported to meet yourself honestly, compassionately and bravely, and to grow from there. It is difficult to find words that adequately describe the depth of what this course has the potential to create.
For anyone who has the opportunity to step into this space, whether for personal growth or to learn a profound modality through which to help others, my advice would simply be: do not let it pass you by. Double down. Show up honestly, bravely and wholeheartedly.
I recommend this course from my heart of hearts. For anyone who genuinely wants to change the way they show up in their life; to anyone who needs to find their centre; to anyone who feels stuck; to anyone whose maladaptive patterns are on repeat; to anyone who can’t quite figure out a particular aspect of their life. To anyone.

Placements close October 1st, 2026
Whether you are adding to an existing practice, changing direction, or turning years of life experience into professional work, the first step is a conversation.
This therapy increases a person's ability to deal with life, take action and to change
It does this by:
Providing a broader context to understand the origin of your client's behaviour.
Intervening in unhelpful thought patterns
Offering a belief system based on spiritual values that create new forums of thought.
How can we expect the human mind to teach us about the human mind when we know so little of the functioning of the human mind?
Spiritual Counsellors:
Move beyond the immediacy
Focus on the origin of issues rather than current symptoms. You will expand the client beyond the immediacy of the mind and help them understand their higher purpose.
Empower to make change
Help the client understand their own contribution to the issues in their life and is empowered to change negative behaviours.
Surface feelings and release suppression
You will learn to adopt a more direct approach that will surface suppressed or repressed feelings. You will empower them to act quickly so they can discover the joy of a different way of living.
By far one of the most challenging and rewarding courses I have ever undertaken. I left the course with my advanced accreditation and a new direction for my life.
