Spiritual Direction for a Connected Life

From Turmoil to Transformation

​Life can feel heavy when the past still echoes through the present.

You may be navigating grief, confusion, or a complicated relationship with your family, especially with a parent who still has an emotional hold on you, even after many years. Perhaps you've spent a lifetime striving, caregiving, or coping, only to realise that something inside you still feels stuck or unseen.

This work is for you if you're ready to make peace with the past and reconnect with your true self — gently, soulfully, and without religious dogma.

🧭 What Is Spiritual Direction — Without Religion?​

Spiritual direction offers a space for you to explore what truly matters — without needing a belief system or a set of doctrines. It’s not therapy. It’s not advice. It’s not about fixing you.

It’s a quiet, compassionate conversation with someone who listens deeply — to what you say, what you feel, and even what you don’t yet have words for.

I draw on decades of experience as a priest and celebrant, now walking a secular path. My approach blends narrative reframing, inner child work, gentle ritual, and soulful mentoring. Think of it as spiritual companionship for people who want connection — not conversion.

💬 Who I Work With​

Many of the people I work with are in midlife, navigating emotional turmoil caused by unresolved childhood wounds, estranged or controlling parents, or long-standing patterns of people-pleasing, guilt, or perfectionism.

 

Often, they’ve been the strong ones. The responsible ones. The carers.
Until something — a bereavement, a family rupture, or a sense of inner collapse — brings them to a crossroads.

While many of my clients are women, I welcome anyone who feels drawn to this journey. The only requirement is a willingness to reflect, feel, and grow.

🌱 What You Might Gain​

  • A deeper sense of inner calm and clarity

  • Freedom from old emotional patterns that no longer serve you

  • A new relationship with your past — one rooted in understanding, not shame

  • Soulful tools to support your emotional and spiritual wellbeing

  • The confidence to show up more fully in your life and relationships

🔥 Choose Your Path: Three Levels of Mentoring​
