Support.
I provide support to people affected by spiritual crisis in the form of one-to-one counselling and peer-support groups.
Those who experience a spiritual crisis often find that spirituality is not valued by friends, family, mental health services, or even wider society. Some even find that their own religious traditions do not understand what they have experienced or know how to respond to it. Experiencers can thus be discriminated against and made to feel alone with no supportive community to turn to. This is in addition to the concerns, suffering, and distress that they may already be feeling. Their experiences and beliefs are often dismissed without being listened to or understood. I offer support by providing a safe, non-judgmental, space for you to talk about your experiences. A space where your experience will be understood within a spiritual framework that will enable you to normalise and find meaning in it. Therapeutic support is also available to help reduce anxiety, provide guidance on grounding, and integrate your experience. You will also be signposted to further information and peer-support groups so that, if you wish, you can join a like-minded community. |
1-2-1 Support
I offer one hour online slots for you to talk about your experience of spiritual crisis.
I can provide a safe space to talk about spiritual crisis, use therapeutic techniques such as hypnotherapy, mindfulness, or relaxation, and offer information and signposting to other resources. This is in the form of ad-hoc, on demand sessions. I do not currently provide long-term, in-depth therapy. I charge £40 per hour or £10 per hour for those on low/no income. Please note that I work with adults (18+) only. Also, requests for support must come directly from the individual who requires the support. I do not accept bookings by carers on behalf of an experiencer. This is to avoid disempowering the experiencer and to ensure that they have the capability to engage with support if and when they want to. If you would like to schedule a 1-2-1 slot:
My upcoming consultation days are: Friday 6th September between 9am to 5pm (BST). Friday 20th September between 9am to 5pm (BST). All times are in BST/GMT. Please check your local time zone if outside of the UK. |
