Cairn  Tibetan Medicine Psychotherapy & Counselling Services Online :

Cairn Tibetan Medicine Materia Medica, Psychotherapy and Counselling Online, was initiated in December 1999, during the Bouddhanath Stupa Health Anthropology Seminar, which aims were to investigate and support the potential resources for Tibetan Medicine found in the local community, as well as address from a consensual diagnosis what were the recent epidemiological and health education concerns facing the Tibetan and Nepalese target- community in contemporary Nepal, and its important migration diaspora linked with N-India and Tibet (TAR China). 

In terms of Research and Development (R&D) for Culturally Appropriate Health Education, the issues of Health Education and Treatment meant that Cairn/SXC Network had to progressively increase its visibility and credibility at grassroots, survey the resources existing in the Bauddha strategic -site, while also seeking for autonomy in terms of self-sustainable initiatives. Indeed, survival of strategic decision-making and project management at local level seldom fits with being busy drafting numerous projects to local donors, which redtapes, jargons, heavy paperwork and lobbying led Nepal Development Aid to what it is today. In short, some balance must prevail. Short- term budget hardly answers the vision of a long-term intervention, thereupon...

 _____________________ Client,

 _____________________ Client,

Dated:

Cairn Counselling Referral

I undersigned, William R LEON, CAIRN CEO, am as an individual member of the Cairn Consortium Association for Holistic Tibetan Counselling and Psychotherapy (HTCP) to be bound by the international code of ethics and practice, this in relation with the R&D in Tibetan Traditional Healing Counselling, and CAIRN General Terms&Conditions at : http://cairn-campus.tripod.com/  , and at : https://cairn-avalon.tripod.com/

Cairn Counsellors will focus on the Case- Confidential Data gathered either through face-to-face consultation(s) or Online, and will be using the Holistic Psychology model for Counselling which is compatible with the specificities of Himalayan / Tibetan Medicine Philosophy and Materia Medica, per se.  Cairn services are specialized since 1983 in the Holistic approach, initiated for ITAS/ATB Transpersonal Psychology Training Seminars in Tibetan Psychotherapy in EU, which we organized in Belgium and UK.  We will also use various Applied Psychology diagnosis concepts within our work and will value the influences and methodology of the humanistic and person centred approaches.

I am committed to provide a safe, confidential and reliable counselling environment for my clients, either through physical resources in the EU, UK or KTM/Nepal, as well as through Online medium.

Our Counselling approach does not focus on the medical problem, per se, which is always examined in close consulation with selected MD specialists and/or Tibetan Amchis in charge of the medical praxis, but on what are the existing and practical unused opportunities you may have. For example the counselling will help to activate your unused body&mind and spiritual potentials, as described in the Tibetan Medicine Tantras and Tsa-rLung practices. It may use various techniques, like yogas breathing, visualisation and meditation, as well as relaxation and stress management to help you with coping strategies. These will be explained and introduced to you in a suitable context.
 

Confidentiality and records

The content of the session is confidential to you and me. I will need to discuss our work with the Tibetan Amchis or Lamas Traditional Health Supervisor and peer technical supervision groups.  I will use your first name but not use any other identifying details about you. On very rare occasions if we discover there is a need to communicate with other professionals, this will only proceed with first seeking your permission and knowledge of what is to be discussed. I make brief notes after each session, this helps me to monitor my work. You will not be identified from these records and they are securely stored.

I, as CAIRN CEO, am committed to offering good practice. However, my insurance based on resources in Nepal cannot include personal indemnity and public liability not specifically listed in your Contract (Memorandum of Understanding : MoU) for Nepal. The SXC/CAIRN in KTM/Nepal and possible Referral to Technical Experts will always have a copy of the MoU.
 

Option One : Free!  Introduction Sessions

Anyone can book FREE counselling online session at Cairn- Avalon, if they feel it might be helpful. This is a decision which we encourage at the Introduction Stage for people to be informed and to make for themselves. It is quite normal for people to go through an introduction period while being worried or depressed, or simply struggling to keep pace with major changes in their lives. At times like these, people have many different ways of coping, and getting case-based focus answers from a counsellor and chat online to talk things through can help them make sense of what is happening and what they want to initiate within their own time and resources. Cairn will provide a trained and objective Counsellor Online, being either based in Belgium, France, UK, canada, USA, Nepal, Tibet, China or India. This way Cairn offers culturally appropriate ways of listening and a different operational perspective. Counsellors will not judge you, analyse you or tell you what to do. Their aim is to help you find your own solutions.

The issues you bring to counselling are confidential and this will be respected except in the most extreme circumstances. When confidentiality needs to be extended, your counsellor will seek to discuss the situation with you first. They would then consult Experts or other Referral- Services, or deputy, maintaining your anonymity at this stage. Your counsellor might also discuss your case in counselling supervision as a routine part of their work, but your identity would be protected.

Option One is valid for a duration One Month, starting date of first contact debriefing. A first meeting with a counsellor will last usually up to 50 minutes, giving an opportunity to start talking about your reasons for contacting Cairn. In addition it will give both you and the counsellor the chance to assess whether continued counselling, perhaps for a week or two - or maybe for longer - would be appropriate for your needs. This first meeting, which we call the Assessment Session, is without obligation to continue; please feel free to ask questions. This exploratory meeting may be sufficient on its own or you might decide to come for a limited series of weekly sessions. Occasionally, referral elsewhere might be most useful.

Option Two :  Sessions and Fees

Option Two consists in the opening of a Personal Counselling (Online File) for a precise duration period. It may consists also in face-to-face meetings, research documentation or other required expertises tasks decided with the Applicants. Option two is sanctioned on a case-to-case basis by a Memorandum of Understanding Agreement (MoU) defining the TOR of the tasks being requested by the Applicants. The Fees and Conditions are similar to Option Three, but limited as package.

Option Three: Sessions and Fees

Sessions will be for several 50 minutes every week, this including the preparation which is needed in technical terms based on the evolution of your file, or other research I will need to do for you. The fee for your session will be £30 or Euro 50, per session. We have agreed to meet in principle on schedule for 1 minimum to 5 sessions maximum, per week, this either online or face-to-face, and also agreed to leave the project ending open so you can cease counselling when you feel ready. The training in Tibetan Medicine Psychology and related Tsa-rLung Yogas is to be made in Nepal, which conditions are online at Cairn Consortium Psychotherapy & Counselling Portal at:

Lately, Cairn Consortium decided to contribute to the revitalization of the Tibetan Medicine Dbase Research System through a pilot-projet focused on Drug-Abuse and/or HIV/AIDS health education, treatment and counselling. From an initial networking with selected PHC and  amchi health centres and the improvement of access to medicinal raw materials to disadvantaged target-groups, the programme is currently engaged in training research, which aims to directly address the problem of remedials to the pressing health, social and spiritual issues facing the Himalayan/Tibetan medical system. This accordingly studies the Materia Medica, Philosophy and Tantras Yogas, as well as the belief and attitudinal social dynamics of the target-groups and society.
 

It goes without saying, that from those activities, a core of precious opportunities will surface for European/Western scholars, researchers, students and eventual people seeking for relevant Tibetan Medicine related resources and/or help...
