“The 4Fold Path” introduces a map featuring compass points of spirit, soul, ego, and psyche, which frame the illustrative template unfolding in sequential phases of the helping process. It is a guide for practitioners meeting clients at the crossroads where the linear path of their life story gains larger soul significance. A case study from the clinical experience of one of the authors is presented as an example tracing the 4Fold Path through a short-term course of counselling. The four main elements of InnerView guidance: witness, presence, essence, and guidance and the four steps of the overarching CARE model, are applied in short-term work with a client. The CARE acronym stands for Connect and contain (your challenge is human and manageable), Assess and affirm (you have what it takes to get through this), Reframe and reorient (you are not defined by your life situation), and Encourage and empower (keep going, one step at a time).
