I am professionally trained as a midwife, which I consider informs my whole perspective in offering Spiritual Direction, as God is all ways desiring to gestate in us through waiting seasons and even loss, to bring the mystery of unexpected surprises to birth in our lives. Margaret Guenther opines a midwife is a 'with woman' who offers her 'with-ness' in keeping another company along the journey, one who provides empathic support; a 'listening into clarity'; and the freedom to explore the 'terra incognita' of the soul's desires. I consider the matrix for this is elicited through the reciprocal gift/trust of soul friendship, that I endeavour to proffer over a wide ranging denominational melange.

Eddie O'Connor Spiritual Director
Spiritual Direction is an enormous privilege for me. When a person embraces their spiritual path with openness and curiosity, the results are often surprising and exciting, never a waste of time. My approach is founded on both my experience with the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius and my practice of contemplative prayer. I have a big heart for people who feel spiritually homeless, as my journey has moved through a variety of spiritual perspectives and theological positions. At the heart of any spiritual practice is the assumption that God is at work in us at all times; our job is to help facilitate that work. In the Spiritual Exercises, St Ignatius encourages Directors to be like the centre of a balance, neither overtly influencing a person's journey, nor remaining passive. A person coming to me for direction can expect me to be calm, empathetic, and affirming, but also honest. My goal is to hold a light up for people and help them see the road ahead, particularly when the way is dark or unclear.

Jill Montgomery spiritual director
Every person is a mystery, even to themselves! The mystery of the universe speaks uniquely and personally to each of us. I seek to offer space for another to feel free to give expression to this dynamic in their life - and listen to these movements of God with them and where it may be calling or guiding. I see my role as 'Accompanying' another. I've personally found that spiritual direction in my own life has been transformative and my desire is to 'hold space' for others to experience this freedom. Life is an ongoing deepening adventure.

Joy Campbell spiritual director
Spiritual Direction is a regular conversation in which you are supported to notice and attune to Divine presence active in your life. It is a place to explore the happenings of daily life through the lens of spiritual communion. God is always speaking. It is for us to learn how to tune into this communication.

Spiritual Direction provides a wonderful opportunity to accompany people on their journey with Our God. I aim to listen, to draw out and ask questions that help another pay attention to God's activity and presence in their lives. I am trained in the Ignatian Tradition and draw on this in my ministry.

Emma Aldridge Spiritual Director
I view Spiritual Direction as journeying alongside another through the vast terrains of life, with the Holy One as our guide. I believe that our God cares deeply about every detail of our lives and wants us to encounter his love. What spiritual direction might be like with me: I will welcome you into a non judgmental environment and listen to you as you are I will be listening to the Holy Spirit as our guide during our time together. I use symbols (objects, images, nature) to help guide in prayer. I use drawing, writing or mark making to help process. There may be times of silence, creativity and prayer.
