The School of Metaphysics is......
An independent counselling and training company, working mostly online and also based in Hertfordshire, UK. The company was founded by Debbie Austin, over 15 years ago, following her qualification as an MSEC Metaphysical Counsellor and Teacher.
The School's aim has always been to awaken people to their inner wisdom/Spirit and to empower them with understanding and practical skills. So they feel equal to their life and able to live with more freedom, peace and joy. We also love to share some of the insights and enlightening teachings that we have found helpful along the way.
We offer -
- Counselling and Training in Metaphysics
- Courses and Wokshops for personal interest.
- Professional Training Route for Metaphysical Counsellors, Teachers and Facilitators
- All our teachers are experienced and qualified MSEC counsellors and teachers.
- Courses that you can attend in person or you can study online wherever you live.
- Our online courses have been designed by a qualified Online Teacher Trainer.
We've clarified the journey-
If you have started exploring the Spiritual marketplace in any depth, you've probably noticed the abundance of teachers, books, courses and workshops that are currently available. We are lucky to live in such enlightened times. Some of these teachings are real treasures, whilst others can be confusing and idealistic. It can be easy for the Spiritual seeker to become confused or overwhelmed by all the different voices and different suggestions. Especially if we are studying these principles by ourself, and it can also be very easy to get a bookshelf full of half read books ;)

So what makes our offering different?-
The Metaphysics taught here, is a distillation of the need-to-know understanding from a whole range of Spiritual teachings, some are ancient wisdoms, some are modern. We focus on the true gems, the core, fundamental principles which when understood and applied, start making life easier and more peaceful straight away. These teachings are effective, versatile and relevant, they will be used time and again on your Spiritual journey.
Unlike most other Metaphysical courses, we offer insights for the whole range of the journey, from beginners to Mystics. Which is why Metaphysics is such a versatile counselling therapy, it can be adapted to meet an individual's level of awareness and their current situation.
Essentially we've done some of the work for you,
so that you can have a clearer and simpler pathway through the maze /jungle than we did and hopefully avoid some of the pitfalls.
Let's face it, not everyone feels like an awakened spiritual master - all the time. For most of us, our spiritual path is a slow, steady process of unfoldment and inner realisation. And at some stages we seem to flip backwards and forwards between heightened awareness and day to day struggles. So in the meantime - until we awaken fully - we need effective methods, to help us unravel the issues we currently face, wherever we appear to be on the path.
"No aspect of this work is more important than to learn to use the right tool. All failure is due to using the wrong one." Barbara Muhl, an Infinite Way teacher.
There also seems little point, if this wisdom doesn't become alive within us. If it doesn't ignite our own inner awareness and experience. So integrated throughout these studies, are exercises and techniques, to help you embody these wisdoms and start discovering for yourself the power within.
