THE ENNEAGRAM
WHAT IS THE ENNEAGRAM?
The word Enneagram comes from the Greek words
ennea (nine) and gram (points/what is written or drawn).
It refers to the nine different Enneagram styles, identified as the numbers 1 to 9. Each number
represents a worldview and archetype that resonates with the way in which people think, feel and act and how they stand in relation to the world, others and themselves.
The Enneagram Profile is a useful guide on the journey towards self-development, relationship building, conflict resolution and the improvement of team dynamics.

USING THE ENNEAGRAM AS A DEVELOPMENT TOOL IN COUNSELLING
The Enneagram has, over the past four decades, proven to be one of the most powerful tools in the counselling environment. When being counselled, the use of the Enneagram does not only fast track insight, growth and integration for the individual client, but also gives durability and magnitude to the individual development process over time. The Enneagram is not a superficial framework to provide just a quick and short lived
insight. The depth and layered approach to the Enneagram enables the counselling process to allow the clients to
develop themselves over time, as it continues to resonate more deeply as they change and their circumstances change. Through the lines, wings, centre of intelligence, instincts and levels of integration, more subtle and powerful pathways to development open up to the individual.
