The complex issue of incorporating spiritual values into the training of counsellors is addressed in this paper. A non-sectarian model of spiritual conditions applicable to the personal and professional development needs of trainee counsellors is presented herein. It is derived from the work of Rudolf Steiner. The seven conditions are firstly, a commitment to personal health and wellbeing, which is closely associated with the professional competency of self-care, and secondly, a commitment to understand others from their viewpoint connected to the counsellor quality of empathy. The third value is commitment to regard thoughts and feelings as realities and is connected with the counsellor competency of experience awareness. The fourth value is the ability to distinguish one’s inner self from outer conditions and expectations, and is associated with the counsellor competency of self-awareness and congruence. The fifth value is to strengthen the connection between thinking and action, and connected with the development of self-responsibility in the counsellor. The sixth quality is the ability to mobilise client resources, which is an empowering quality in the counsellor. Finally, the seventh value of integration whereby the counsellor is able to bring about the unity of all of the above in a consistency of character.
