PODCAST
The Pilamaya Podcast
The Pilamaya Podcast is a monthly series from the Pilamaya Centre for Integration Psychotherapy in the UK, hosted by Shaura Hall and Pilamaya graduate Susan Clark. Each episode explores integration psychotherapy, consciousness, and personal transformation, weaving ancient wisdom together with contemporary therapeutic practice across themes of relational healing, emotional growth, and the deeper questions that shape our inner lives.
At its heart, this podcast reflects who we are as a community of learners, and why this work matters beyond the therapy room. At Pilamaya, we believe the therapeutic process is a vehicle for change in the world, and these conversations sit at that edge, where personal transformation meets collective responsibility.

The Pilamaya Podcast is a series of conversations from The Pilamaya Centre (UK) exploring the new model of Integration Psychotherapy and the lived work of healing. Hosted by Pilamaya founder and integration psychotherapist Shaura Hall and writer–psychotherapist Susan Clark, this podcast is for anyone drawn to Integration Psychotherapy and consciousness work — whether you’re considering training, seeking therapy, or simply curious about the journey back to yourself. You’ll love this behind scenes exploration of good therapy and why it works to change lives and bring us back to ourselves.
In this episode on the theme of Belonging and, by association, the deep wound of feeling you don’t belong, co-hosts Susan and Shaura are joined by Pilamaya's newly appointed Community Liaison Administrator and Pilamaya-trained fellow Integration Psychotherapist, Emily Wallace.
Emily shares how, for her, Belonging feels like it sits at the centre of being human — whether that be belonging to place within community, on land, within family systems, in time, or to the self.
Susan shares how in her life, the wound of Not Belonging opened the pathway back to Belonging to Self, (what Carl Jung would have called Individuation).
And all three acknowledge how, for those for whom when Belonging has not been modelled in earlier life stages, any invitation to truly Belong can feel threatening, and for a system has no understanding of what it might mean to belong securely to anything or anyone and perhaps confrontational.
Shaura concludes, “Essentially where we get to in the therapeutic space is around the question of belonging to Self. And at the end, if we can open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that are available for self-understanding and self-expression, then we begin to belong to the realm of possibility and therefore to life itself.”
This is a heartfelt and ultimately uplifting discussion on the ways Integration Psychotherapy invites us to find and even create new ways to Belong.
To ourselves.
To our soul community.
To the new wave of consciousness that waits for those who hear the call.
To those new frameworks of Belonging that are making their way through the noise.
