The Quickening ...

"We are taught from a young age how to 'fit in' to the world around us. 'Give me a child to the age of 7 and I will give you the adult' (Old Jesuit saying)

We develop a self image and sense of identity based on external values. 'Who am I?' can only be known within the relationship we have with our own inner values.

In times of change, it is our identity which is challenged. 'Knowing thyself' is the lesson these times we live in presents ..."

Counselling Testimonials

“I have had several private counseling sessions with Scott. I found him to be an exceptionally perceptive and skilful therapist. He is a gifted communicator who is able to put people in touch with themselves, and they, in turn, are able to communicate more openly and more effectively with others. In this fast-paced alienating modern society, Mr Washington’s work is vitally important. I have benefited greatly both professionally as a teacher and personally as a human being from the work I did with Scott.”

Virginia Lezhnev, Program Coordinator, The American Language Institute

“Working with Scott has been an amazing experience. When I meet him I was sceptical about what benefits I could get from just one session. Afterwards I was just blown away by how much more I knew myself. This has lead me to lead a much more inspired life doing what matters to me.”

Stuart Anderson, Blue Mountains

“From my experience as a clinical psychologist, workshop leader, and trainer in the fields of psychology and counselling, and from my direct observations of Scott’s work in personal counselling and with groups, his skill is above the level of many psychotherapeutic practitioners with doctoral degrees.

He is doing innovative work with the principles of personality change and in revealing the unconscious structural patterns of the individual psyche. His pre-eminent contributions as a counsellor are of great value. It is perhaps precisely because his training occurred in a number of cross-cultural settings and happened outside traditional academic institutions that he is able to observe our systemic psychological problems from a fresh perspective and apply new and strikingly effective methods of short-term counseling.”

Patricia Berne, Clinical Psychologist

Macro Structural Counselling Testimonials

“I recommend Scott Washington as a Counselor in the concept of Macro-Structural Counseling, I have participated in learning this technique from Scott, and being the recipient of this approach to counseling. I find Scott’s approach to personal change to be useful in my clinical work and in my interpersonal life. It is a valuable tool with solid foundation in current psychological theory.

Scott presents this approach in such a way that others can use it with success equal to this own. I feel privileged to be able to work with him in presenting his technique to the mental health community.”

Janice Stevenson, Board Chairperson, Black Mental Health Alliance, Maryland

Consulting Testimonials

“Scott has been active in the field of initiating and managing change in organizations for many years. I have had the opportunity to witness the development of his presentation skills and, more importantly, the power and elegance of his concepts and insights.

Scott has become one of those in the forefront of provoking and guiding the process of fundamental change in organizational settings. The concepts underlying his work are unique – I am not aware of any other consultant that utilizes his particular point of view. He is an absolutely unusual, unique and powerful consultative service.”

R. Costello, Technical Manager, B.P.R. Management Group, Chemical Bank

“As an attorney and professor in a new and emerging area of law, I have found that creatively dealing with change is a skill that greatly increases the likelihood of productively managing conflict and is an art not ordinarily addressed in the training of most professionals. Scott’s work provides just such a basis for mastering change and conflict.”

Joanne Gabrynowicz, Associate Professor, Center for Aerospace Sciences, University of North Dakota

“Scott Washington is pre-eminent in the field of facilitating the process of change in organizations. He is offering something that, to my knowledge, is not available elsewhere.”

Suzanna Opper, Communication Systems for Organisations, New York

“While I have worked with a number of other change agents and professors specializing in change, I can honestly say that Mr. Washington brings a capacity for breakthrough change heretofore unknown. While his abilities are clearly a result of extensive training and assimilation of highly diverse areas of expertise, his ability to integrate these aspects into a consultancy that appears natural to him is remarkable.

I have studied with him, been in treatment with him and recommended others to him. In each case, his unique contribution is apparent. He continually makes an astounding contribution.”

Dr. Karen Brethower, Brethower Associates
