Edward Mark Sellman

Overview

Transpersonal Therapies is a UK-based private practice led by Edward Sellman, offering integrative and transpersonal counselling alongside experiential and body-informed practices. Services include individual and group work, workshops, courses, retreats and monthly sound baths.

The practice blends psychological and spiritual perspectives, drawing on mindfulness, breathwork, Internal Family Systems (IFS), creative practice and somatic approaches to support recovery, personal growth and emotional integration.

Best for

Transpersonal Therapies is best suited to people seeking a holistic, experiential and relational approach to mental health and personal development. It is particularly appropriate for those working with:

• Anxiety and persistent worry
• Low mood and depression
• Addictive behaviours and difficulties with compulsive patterns

Approach

Edward Sellman uses an integrative, transpersonal framework that holds the body, mind and soul as interconnected. Therapeutic work may include talk-based counselling, parts-work drawn from Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork (including Grof-style breathwork), mindfulness practices, creative methods such as SoulCollage®, TRE® for tension/trauma release, and sound-healing.

The approach is experiential and relational, incorporating non-ordinary states of consciousness where appropriate (for example via meditation or breathwork) and emphasising integration, meaning-making and personal growth as well as symptom relief.

Group offerings such as sound baths and workshops are used alongside one-to-one sessions to provide varied routes for healing and community support.
