Psychophonetics is a modality of counselling, coaching & facilitation based on an holistic approach to the human being. In groups, couples or individual sessions, participants are encouraged to explore hidden dynamics underlying habitual reactions to life. Then to access creative alternatives to more satisfying responses.  Psychophonetics extends the art of conversational counselling to embrace experience and to access deep emotional intelligence. This is done through its use of body awareness, gesture and movement, visualisation and sounds.

Design Thinking is a framework that has human-centric design at its core. By default then, empathy forms part of a design thinking exercise. This is because it involves connecting to and understanding peoples’ wants, needs, goals and desires. By understanding these, we can then define and co-create desirable solutions and experiences that add value to peoples’ lives. Empathising with users, stakeholders and colleagues during a Design thinking exercise helps bring about this deeper understanding. But of course, as we will point out later, empathy is first about tuning in to self.
