About Lee Bladon

Hello, I’m Lee Bladon (pronounced blay-dun). I’m a transpersonal therapist, spiritual life coach and somatic therapist specialising in spiritual awakening and deep emotional healing – but I didn’t start out this way…

My journey began back in 2000, when I had a successful career and what looked like the perfect life. Yet despite my outward success, my baseline level of happiness and fulfilment was only 4 out of 10. I was plagued by chronic anxiety and a nagging feeling that there must be more to life than this, but I had no idea what to do about it.

I spent the next decade devouring hundreds of books on psychology, spirituality, consciousness, theosophy and metaphysics – searching desperately for the meaning of life, universe and everything. I learnt so much during that period, but it didn’t really change who I was. Despite all that mind-blowing knowledge, I was still anxious and unfulfilled – I was still the same old me.

My Big Breakthrough: Going Within

Then one day, it dawned on me… If I wanted deep transformational change, I needed to go deeper into my consciousness, because I couldn’t think my way to enlightenment and wellbeing. I realised that had to get out of my head and feel down into my heart (where emotions live) and into my belly (where repressed emotions are buried), and that’s when the real changes began.

When I started feeling into my “stuff” instead of just thinking about it, it all started to unpack, heal and reintegrate. I began to feel whole, happy and fulfilled, instead of anxious, insecure and flat. I was transforming, and so was my life! My baseline level of happiness and fulfilment increased from 4/10 to 8/10, and my anxiety faded away as I worked through my stuff and discovered who I really was.

My Surprising Discovery: Psychology Meets Spirituality

Along the way, I realised that psychology and spirituality are just different frequencies of consciousness, and that inner work isn’t always easy, but it’s nowhere near as scary or painful as I thought. With courage and the right support, we can feel our way through the fear and process what’s inside because our adult-self has far more capacity than our child-self ever did.

Thoughts and emotions are messages – once they have been delivered (i.e. seen, heard or felt) they can dissolve. The structure of the thought-form or emotional-form dissolves, which reveals our unstructured, unconditioned, liberated, soul essence.

But here’s what truly amazed me: the “inner work” wasn’t just about processing unpleasant psychological stuff – limiting beliefs, emotional traumas and reactive patterns. What really sparked my passion for this work was the profound spiritual experiences that began occurring more and more frequently.

My inquiry sessions would typically begin with a psychological issue. Once I’d explored and worked through that material, I would often find myself having wonderful spiritual experiences – and I’d never considered myself spiritual before. I realised something that would become the foundation of my work as a transpersonal therapist: Psychology and spirituality aren’t separate – they’re two poles of the same continuum: our consciousness.

Our pure, unconditioned, un-traumatised consciousness is spiritual in nature. It’s our true nature, our essence, our soul. And our psychological “stuff” is the same soul essence that has become stuck, patterned or programmed with false, distorted or limiting beliefs and deficient feelings. When we work through an emotional issue and release what’s held there, our soul essence is freed to return to its natural state – which is inherently happy, peaceful, and fulfilled. This understanding is the heart of transpersonal therapy.
