THE ILLUMINATED SELF
Thank you for stopping by!
I am glad you are here.
Corene Crossin
Founder. Therapist. Coach. Guide.
My name is Corene and I am the founder of The Illuminated Self. I am a qualified psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, coach, author and guide with extensive experience in working with fellow awakening souls all over the world. My mission is to provide compassionate, professional support and guidance to help you make the wild ride of waking up to your true nature smoother and easier.
My Approach
I provide compassionate therapy, coaching and guidance to support your spiritual development and help you integrate spiritually transformative experiences to daily life.
I understand that your journey is unique, and I work collaboratively to identify the most suitable approach for you. I draw on a diverse range of techniques including depth psychology and dream work, active imagination, solution-focused techniques, narrative modalities, guided imagery, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, focusing techniques, Byron Katie's "The Work", parts therapy using the Internal Family Systems model, and creative therapy.
I will work closely with you to understand the challenges you face so I together we can work with the right combination of approaches to best meet your needs.
My Story
​A graduate of Cambridge University and a former international senior executive with a lifelong interest in mysticism, I became strongly drawn to meditation while living and working in Asia. My interest in spiritual awakening experiences emerged after having several significant, apparently spontaneously awakening experiences. I pursued post-graduate research in the area of spiritual emergence and spiritual emergencies, and have completed graduate degrees in psychology and counselling (with academic distinction) in Australia, in addition to formal training in clinical hypnotherapy. I am trauma-informed with additional formal training in the integration of psychedelic therapy experiences.
Working alongside my dear friend and mystic wisdom teacher, Mary Reed, I am the co-author of Divine New Being.
I live in Australia and work with clients all over the world. I bring a gentle, intuitive, intelligent approach to all my work. I look forward to being of service to you.
“I found working with Corene very helpful, and quite wonderful. She is deeply intuitive, highly skilled, with a voice like an angel, guiding you to powerful insights and healing. ."
