Accompaniment

Within the noise, distractions, and demands within the push and pull of life, we can begin to feel fragmented, disconnected, our own internal landscapes feeling farther away and more unknown.

Spiritual accompaniment (also known as spiritual direction) is an ancient reflective practice where you are given space to slow down, to pay loving attention to the deep movements of your own soul, to explore questions arising within you of vocation, desire and longing, truth, and connection – with yourself, with others and with the ‘Holy Other’ of your faith expression.

As a spiritual director, my role is to accompany you on that journey into your inner landscape, to listen, to bear witness. And then to ask questions that help you to notice connections, make your own discoveries, and engage in your own internal experience and the larger story of your life.

My hope is that through this ancient practice, you will live more fully and navigate this life with a deeper awareness of the “sacred ordinary” around and within you, leading to a greater sense of integration and increasing wholeness.

Though I trained with and work primarily within the Christian tradition of spiritual accompaniment, I offer accompaniment to those of all faiths and none. I will honour and respect your beliefs and work within the boundaries you as for. And if you are struggling with your faith, I would be deeply honoured to walk that difficult, disorienting journey with you.

My standard fees are £25 for an hour’s session and typically we would meet once a month. If finances are a barrier to you, please contact me and let’s explore together how to best remove that barrier.

I am a certified Spiritual Director, having trained with Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction certificate program and completed my Introduction to Spiritual Accompaniment in 2021 with the Jesuits in Britain through their Ignatian Spirituality Centre. I also hold a Certificate in Contemporary Chaplaincy through Waverley Abbey College.
