Spiritual Crisis: Support, Research, & Training
|
I provide 1-2-1 support and peer-support group facilitation for people affected by spiritual crisis. I also undertake research into spiritual and religious experience in general and spiritual crisis in particular. I offer a selection of talks, workshops, and courses on spiritual crisis and related topics.
I am one of the directors of the UK Spiritual Crisis Network (SCN) and have facilitated peer-support for people affected by spiritual crisis for over ten years. My PhD research explores peer-support and grounding for integration following a spiritual crisis. I am also a qualified hypno-psychotherapist and trained as a Spiritual Emergence Coach with Emma Bragdon. You can watch a five minute video of me being interviewed about my work by her here. I hold several academic and therapeutic qualifications and some of my publications have been published in peer-reviewed academic journals. I have not experienced a spiritual crisis myself. However, I have a lifelong interest in spirituality, myth, magic, and mysticism. Please feel free to view my CV, check my events and availability, or contact me to find out more. |
Spiritual crisis (aka spiritual emergency) can be defined as any spiritual or anomalous experience that causes concern or distress for the person who experiences it or those around them.
If responded to appropriately, it can result in personal growth or even profound psychospiritual transformation.
Spiritual Crisis: A Beginner's Guide
The free online course below provides seven byte size lessons to introduce the topic of spiritual crisis (also known as a spiritual emergency).
It is aimed at anyone new to the concept but may also be a useful refresher for those who are already familiar with it. Findings and ideas from my own research are included.
There are also optional review questions and a recap quiz to test your knowledge.

Make a Donation.
The vast majority of my work on spiritual crisis is currently unpaid and done on a voluntary basis.
Paid academic positions in this area are rare and funding for research is difficult for independent researchers to access.
Therefore, my work is self-funded by my day job in ICT, which takes up most of my time.
I am grateful to the Professional Development Foundation for providing a small bursary towards my PhD fees.
