Many people are curious about how vibrational tools, such as tuning forks, singing bowls, or other sound-based instruments, can fit into counselling. At The Lion Mind, these tools are not used as metaphysical devices, nor are they applied as standalone treatments. Instead, they may be incorporated only when they benefit the client’s emotional process and always within a recognised therapeutic framework.

This article explains, in a general and accessible way, how such tools may be integrated into counselling sessions at our organisation.

A Grounded, Evidence-Informed Foundation

Our counselling approach is rooted in psychological science. The core of the session always centres on:

• Therapeutic rapport

• Emotional safety

• Client-led exploration

• Respect for pace and comfort

• Evidence-based counselling skills

Vibrational tools are used only as supportive experiential elements, and never as replacements for established psychological methods.

What a Counselling Session at The Lion Mind Looks Like

Every session is unique because every client is unique. However, our clinicians follow a broad, flexible structure designed to support emotional clarity, insight, and healing.

1. Settling Into the Space

We begin by helping you arrive—mentally, emotionally, and physically. This may involve:

• A simple verbal check-in

• A moment of grounding

• Ensuring you feel safe to share openly

The foundation of all therapeutic work is safety and presence.

2. Choosing What Matters Most Today

Instead of imposing a fixed agenda, your clinician listens for:

• What trouble or concern feels most pressing

• What emotions surfaced since the last session

• What you feel ready to explore

Sessions evolve naturally based on your needs in that moment.

3. Exploring Through Dialogue and Experience

Your clinician may integrate different approaches depending on what supports your process:

Person-Centred Dialogue

A collaborative conversation where your lived experience guides the direction.

Experiential and Expressive Approaches

These may include metaphor, imagery, or gently exploring the body’s emotional responses.

Projective Tools (e.g., OH Cards)

Used only if suitable, these tools help externalise feelings that are hard to articulate.

Optional Vibrational Tools

This is where tuning forks or singing bowls may be introduced—never automatically, and only with your consent. Their purpose is practical:

• To support grounding

• To help you reconnect with your emotional state

• To facilitate transitions within the session

No metaphysical claims are made.

4. Making Meaning From What Arises

As thoughts, patterns, or emotions emerge, your clinician works with you to:

• Notice underlying themes

• Understand needs and internal conflicts

• Connect emotional sensations to lived experiences

• Clarify what is shifting for you

This part of the session is highly personalised and reflective.

5. Closing the Session With Stability and Integration

Before ending, your clinician helps ensure you leave emotionally supported and grounded. This may involve:

• Highlighting key insights

• Confirming what felt important to you

• Reinforcing coping strategies

• Preparing for self-care after the session

Our aim is for you to walk away feeling clearer and more steadied.

How Vibrational Tools Fit In

These tools are supplemental, not central. They may be used to:

• Support grounding before deeper work

• Help you reconnect with the body

• Facilitate emotional release in a safe way

• Enhance your sense of presence

• Mark transition points within the session

No two clinicians use the tools in exactly the same way, and every usage is tailored to the client’s comfort and therapeutic goals.

When to Consider Counselling at The Lion Mind

• Prefer a gentle, experiential process
