Below is a clear, professional, and spiritually grounded framework for a Spiritual Mentorship Therapy and Healing Model (SM Model).
It is suitable for individuals, groups, facilitators, wellness practitioners, faith-neutral settings, and community programmes, especially within an African and global context.

Spiritual Mentorship Therapy & Healing Model (SM Model)

A Pathway to Inner Wisdom, Balance, and Wholeness

Purpose of the SM Model

The SM Model supports personal healing and transformation by helping individuals:

This model is non-clinical, complementary to therapy, and grounded in presence, compassion, reflection, and spiritual awareness.
