Spiritual direction is a sacred space for reflection. It offers time to consider your daily life, your experiences, and the insight you carry within, as you become more aware of God’s presence and consider how you might respond.
Spiritual direction is for anyone who wants to pay closer attention to their relationship with God.
It may be for those who sense a longing for something more, or who are seeking clarity in the midst of everyday life. It is also for those who wish to deepen an existing faith, or to make space to listen more carefully to God’s presence.
You do not need to have everything worked out. Spiritual direction welcomes those who are certain, those who are questioning, and those who are simply open to exploring where God may be at work in their lives.
In a spiritual direction session, you are invited to share about your life as it is, and to notice where God may be present within it.
The time is shaped by listening and attention. You may share experiences, questions, or moments that feel significant, whilst I listen, helping you to reflect more deeply and to notice what might otherwise be missed.
There may be silence at times, allowing space to become still and attentive to God. The pace is gentle, without pressure to reach conclusions or find quick answers.
Each session is guided by what you bring, with a focus on helping you grow in awareness of God’s presence and your response to it.
A spiritual director listens with care and attention, helping you to notice where God may be present in your life. They offer a steady, prayerful presence, and may ask gentle questions that invite deeper reflection.
They do not lead or direct your decisions. Rather than giving advice or solutions, they seek to support you in listening for yourself, trusting that God is already at work within you.
A spiritual director does not judge, diagnose, or attempt to fix problems. Their role is not to take the place of a counsellor or therapist, but to accompany you as you grow in awareness of God’s presence and your response to it.
The focus remains on your relationship with God, and on creating a space where that relationship can be noticed and nurtured.
Spiritual direction usually takes place on a monthly basis.
Meeting in this way offers a steady rhythm, with space in between sessions to live, reflect, and notice how God is present in your daily life. It allows time for what has been shared to unfold naturally, without hurry.
This regular pattern provides continuity, while still leaving room for each session to be shaped by what is most present for you at the time.
As I am currently still training with the London Centre for Spiritual Direction, I only have capacity to accompany two directees, neither of which pay as they are assisting me with my training.
I shall release more information about cost when I am able to accept more directees in 2027.
Spiritual direction is not the same as therapy, though there can be some similarities.
Therapy often focuses on emotional and psychological wellbeing, working through difficulties, patterns, and healing. Spiritual direction, by contrast, centres on your relationship with God and your awareness of God’s presence in your life.
There may be times when personal experiences or challenges are spoken about, but the focus remains on how God is present within those moments, and how you are being invited to respond.
The two can sit alongside each other, but they have different purposes and ways of working.
