I currently live in the South West of England and I am married with two adult children in their early twenties. As a creative soul, I love art, theatre, film and music. I also enjoy painting, reading, films, walking, good food and spending quality time with friends and family.
 
My faith journey began in my late teens and like many it has been a wonderful walk of cliff tops, deep valleys and everything between!
 
Before studying Theology, Philosophy and Religious Studies in my early twenties, I spent time living and volunteering overseas. After marriage and settling into family life in my mid-twenties, I trained in the field of education where I taught and held several leadership roles. In 2004 my husband and I had the privilege of planting a vibrant church which we led for 18 years. In 2020 we sensed an invitation to transition from our leadership roles to pursue a more focused vocation in Spiritual Direction. In June 2022, we entered this new season.
 
My particular interest in spiritual formation began early in my faith journey; however, it was my own desire and need for a deeper and more sustaining spirituality that led me towards contemplative practices and spiritual accompaniment. Over time, these rhythms helped me to slow down, notice, and encounter God’s presence in a way that would nourish and help me experience the sacred in both the ordinary moments and challenges of life. As my passion for formation developed, I trained as a Spiritual Director and, having worked in education and church leadership for nearly 30 years, it is now my delight to offer this kind of accompaniment to others also seeking a richer and more fulfilling experience.
 

My joy as a spiritual director is to be a soul friend; someone who holds space for you to express what is true for you, no matter the season. My commitment to you is to create a safe and confidential listening environment in which I will offer helpful questions, observations and moments for prayer and reflection. I can also help you to explore life-giving rhythms and spiritual practices as you seek to make sense of your journey and cultivate your relationship with God.

I have been offering Spiritual Direction for five years having trained with Sustainable Faith. I am affiliated to the London Centre of Spiritual Direction and committed to their code of professional praxis. I regularly attend supervision and take time to pursue continuing professional development. I also offer The Spiritual Exercises which has been both helpful and life-giving in my own journey.
