There is an increasing interest in a holistic approach to therapy with families that includes integrating spirituality into theoretical and practice approaches. However, many practitioners feel ill‐equipped to narrow the gap between the clinical and the spiritual. This article explores an ancient Celtic Irish spiritual framework and its applicability to 21st‐century therapists. It focuses on the role of the Anam Ċara from the Celtic world. The Anam Ċara was a person of wisdom to whom people turned to for guidance, advice, and healing. This paper contends that the Anam Ċara of the ancient Celtic world is akin to the therapists of today. The Celtic Irish saw the spiritual context in all occasions and regarded all forms of work as sacred. This paper examines this sacred work. It looks at the language, rituals, and imagination of the Anam Ċara, translating these ancient practices for therapists to utilise to enhance their holistic approach to treatment.
