I approach spiritual direction as one of life’s great and noble adventures as we set out to explore and discover the presence and voice of the sacred in our world and within ourselves. On this path, we learn to listen and respond to a loving God beyond our imagination. This spiritual journey requires that we are equipped with courage and bravery to move beyond our fixed notions in the hope and assurance of deeper insight. On this journey, we hold the world and ourselves with compassion and kind-heartedness.

Every spiritual-life journey is unique, and no two people encounter God the same way. I love listening to the thoughts, feelings, spiritual experiences, joy, disappointment or deep longing that resides within someone seeking to know God. I am always aware that when someone speaks about their relationship with God, they are in fact speaking to God, not just to me. God listens. That makes spiritual direction a bit like prayer. Sometimes God even responds! My commitment to everyone who sees me for spiritual direction is that I will listen to them, and with them to God. A number of people who see me work in vocational Christian ministry or the charity sector. I have experience in providing ministry supervision in addition to, or alongside, spiritual direction. I am particularly interested in the intersection of spirituality and vocational ministry, though I enjoy working with anyone wanting to deepen their awareness of God's presence in their life.

My approach is contemplative; presence and listening lie at the heart of my work. For this reason, I am comfortable working with people from the broad sweep of Christian faiths. And because of my hospice work, I have an affinity with people who might describe themselves as unchurched seekers or refugees from dogmatism.

Being a Spiritual Director is such a privilege. To sit with another as they share their struggles, joys, sorrow, desires and questions is to be standing on Holy Ground.
I offer Spiritual Direction from my home, where I offer a place of welcome, warmth, safety, friendship and acceptance. It is a place where you can dare to share and express your thoughts, feelings, questions, desires, failures and successes, free of judgment. It is a time where tears and laughter are welcome. Nothing in your life is out of bounds, all is welcome, even what you might think is too ordinary or too glorious or be ashamed of. It is a time where the masks that we often wear can be set aside and what lies deep within can be slowly revealed. It’s a time where we go deeper, listening for what God might be saying and inviting you too and also a time where you can listen deeply to yourself.

Spiritual Direction sessions are held tenderly in God. The session is about you and God. I'm there to listen carefully to you and stay tuned to the Holy Spirit. I offer confidentiality, privacy in a safe welcoming space. As you talk about your everyday life experiences - your highs and lows, your relationships, your work, your decisions - I will accompany you as you notice, reflect, explore, question and engage with God.
To assist you to move from head to heart and grow in self-awareness and intimacy with God, I can offer interactive drawing therapy, focusing, dream work, imaginative use of scripture, different types of prayer, music, poetry, finding God in nature.
This is both a joy and privilege for me as I accompany another on their spiritual journey.

Stepping into the regular practice of spiritual direction saved my faith by providing me with a safe space to take the lid off the box I had put the God of my limited understanding into. The God of my unknowing leaped out and embraced me! I’m so grateful that I had a spiritual companion accompanying me on that journey as I discovered that God is so much more expansive and gracious, loving and kind, than I had previously allowed. Having someone who listens with curiosity and compassion, and who continually provides a scaffolding of care and hope as I wonder, wrestle, rest, question, explore, discern, wander, re-orientate and wonder again, has been the missing piece to my faith. Finding a new language and way of being with God within the contemplative tradition reshaped and reinvigorated my spiritual life, deepening my relationship with God. Could God be inviting you into a similar journey? It would by my joy and privilege to accompany you.
My direction practice is called "Be". With the tagline 'Time for you, with God, accompanied by another.'
