dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research is to seek to explore and generate, an understanding of and an experience of, engagement with other beings in an open, present way that creates a space where healing, transformation and expansion can occur. This type of engagement is given the name Deep Encounter. A hermenuetical interpretation of the work of Martin Buber is used to generate an understanding of deep encounter and the healing possible in this process. Participants are asked to share their experience of opening to deep encounter with clients and their experience of moments of deep encounter with clients. As a researcher I also work to open to deep encounter with the participants in order to learn to open to deep encounter as a counsellor. Narrative storying of the interviews is used to elucidate the experience of leaming to open to deep encounter with others and barriers of opening that are experienced. Learnings are applied to the facilitation of a strong, healing, therapeutic relationship based in the process of deep encounter.
