In addition to my counselling services, I also offer Soul Therapy sessions. This is an alternative to Spiritual Direction for people like me, who are outside the church + institutional religion, who still have soulful longings that are kinda messy, complicated + nuanced.

Designed to support people recovering from religious harm, who find it hard to talk about God/Source/Mystery, but still want to. These 50 minute sessions draw on my Spiritual Formation skills, without the classical spiritual constructs that may be triggering or harmful for people who have experienced religious harm.

As a former pastor with lived experience of recovery from religious trauma, I know how lonely this experience can be. I know how hard it is to find a safe space to make meaning of a shattered worldview following spiritual abuse.

This may be a useful resource + support for you if:

• your relationship with spirituality is kinda complicated.

• you’ve expereinced a rupture or shift in your experience of faith, life / Mystery / Source / the Sacred (insert your word here).

• you want to explore what a meaningful, authentic, soul-nourishing life looks like for you now.

• your faith has dissolved, evolved, or is in an in-between, un-resolved place.

• you find concepts like ‘spiritual direction’, ‘church’ or ‘God’ difficult or triggering

• your soulful / spiritual longings are associated with spiritual harm or trauma.

• you’d like a safe person to support you as explore your soul’s unique path + what kind of relationship you might want now with the Sacred.
