EquiBlend offers person-centred consultation for people already in a career who want to progress and achieve greater coherence in their next steps. 

The name brings together two ideas. Equi suggests equilibrium and balance: giving thoughtful consideration to the different parts of life. Blend suggests bringing those parts together, including your values, abilities, relationships, responsibilities and goals. 

Within EquiBlend, balance means finding a workable relationship among the parts of your life. It does not require equal time for everything or a perfect arrangement. The focus is on what matters to you and what is practical given your circumstances. 

What this service offers 

EquiBlend brings together two distinct approaches drawn from Applied Metapsychology: Schema Life Planning Consultation and the Ability Enhancement Programme. 

Schema supports the development of a workable plan. Ability Enhancement offers a sequential curriculum that explores personal capabilities. Your needs and readiness help determine an appropriate starting point; participation in one does not automatically require participation in the other. 

Who it is for 

EquiBlend is intended for people already in a career who want to explore their progress, priorities and personal effectiveness. You may want to: 

• Clarify your next professional direction. 

• Align career decisions with your values and responsibilities. 

• Move a stalled goal into practical planning. 

• Explore communication and working relationships. 

• Develop capabilities relevant to everyday challenges. 

• Consider patterns or assumptions affecting your choices. 

An initial conversation helps clarify your concerns and which direction may fit your needs. 

Schema Life Planning Consultation 

A schema is an organising framework or plan. This direction provides a structured way to examine your current situation, describe the situation you want to work towards, and identify practical steps to bridge the two. 

A Specific Schema focuses on a single domain, activity or area of life, such as career progression. A General Schema considers several connected areas and how your plans and responsibilities fit together. The scope is agreed based on your needs. 

The process explores your chosen focus, current and desired situations, values, purposes and goals, practical outcomes, guiding principles and everyday habits. These elements are synthesized into an action plan. 

The consultant may offer relevant information, suggestions and questions regarding the plan's feasibility. Your interpretation of your experience, values and decisions remains your own. 

The Schema endpoint 

Schema has a defined endpoint: a coherent, workable plan for the agreed focus. Completing the plan is distinct from achieving every long-term goal within it; implementation occurs in everyday life. 

Follow-up can be arranged to review implementation, consider obstacles, or update the plan as circumstances change. 

The Ability Enhancement Programme 

Ability Enhancement is a sequential Programme based on the Applied Metapsychology Ability Enhancement Curriculum and its techniques. It offers a broader developmental pathway rather than ending with a single life plan. 

The proposed starting point and sequence are tailored to your needs and readiness. The curriculum includes the following areas: 

• Help and control: giving and accepting appropriate help, autonomy, responsibility and constructive cooperation. 

• Memory enhancement: a structured exploration of recollection and personal experience, including pleasant memories. This is not a medical memory assessment. 

• Communication: exploring experiences and concerns related to expressing yourself and engaging with others. 

• Resolution: inspecting problems, conflicting intentions and difficulties. 

• Reconciliation: exploring regret, responsibility and unresolved concerns without compelling reconciliation with another person. 

• Resilience: exploring change, upsets and responses to difficult circumstances. 

• General TIR: relevant traumatic experiences addressed through separately agreed, structured Trauma Incident Reduction facilitation, where appropriate. 

• Rightness: exploring fixed ideas, uncertainty and assumptions without requiring adoption of the practitioner’s beliefs. 

Consultation and facilitation 

EquiBlend is offered as a person-centred consultation service. Consultation provides practical guidance and relevant suggestions while preserving your ownership of choices and meaning. 

Some Ability Enhancement techniques use structured facilitation. If a different working mode is proposed, its purpose and boundaries are explained, and your willingness to proceed is discussed. Practical planning and facilitation remain distinct throughout the work. 

What to expect from sessions 

Sessions are sequential and last 60 minutes. We begin by discussing your circumstances, priorities and the scope of the proposed work. 

In Schema, appointments build towards the agreed planning endpoint. In Ability Enhancement, appointments follow the agreed curriculum sequence. There is scope to ask questions, review relevance and discuss concerns. Where different support is needed, we can consider an appropriate next step. 

What we are working towards 

Depending on the direction and focus, the aims may include the following: 

• Clearer priorities and a more coherent direction. 

• Better alignment among values, goals and everyday actions. 

• Recognition of relevant strengths, resources and information needs. 

• A practical plan for the chosen focus. 

• Greater awareness of communication and relationship patterns. 

• More flexibility in considering difficulties and choices. 

These are aims rather than guaranteed outcomes. Participation does not guarantee career advancement or a specific psychological outcome. 

Session arrangements 

Both directions use 60-minute sessions in sequence. The number of appointments depends on the agreed Schema scope or Ability Enhancement curriculum work. Delivery and follow-up arrangements are discussed during the initial enquiry.
