Refreshing. Reflecting. Revisioning.
Three words that capture the heart of pastoral supervision:
space to breathe, understand, and move forward with hope.
Which word feels most needed right now for you?.

Pastoral supervision is not about fixing you. It is about creating space to reflect, learn, and discover fresh perspective in your work and calling.

Who supports the supporter? Pastoral supervision gives ministers, chaplains, and pastoral workers a safe space to explore what they carry and how they can keep serving well.

Who helps you process what you carry?

Pastoral supervision offers a regular, intentional, and boundaried space to reflect on your ministry, leadership, and professional practice. It is a place to pause, notice, and grow.

Would you like to draw nearer to God? (James 4 vs 4)
I found an extended retreat a wonderful way to experience this.

I am about to begin my second year training in Spiritual Accompaniement (Also known as Spiritual Direction) and I am looking for people to guide through this extended retreat.

If you have been prayerfully considering moving through the Ignatian Exercises, but find life busy, this is a way to draw closer to God in the every day life.

There will be a little preparatory reading, but will run for 32 weeks from 13th October to 18th May 2026- daily individual prayer and reading, with a weekly call with me is the framework of the retreat.

The cost is greatly reduced for this retreat as I am still training, albeit with robust and rigorous support. (Usually £750, and in this case £250 in installments)

It was a pleasure over the past 8months to get to know and work with a cohort of professinals from all over the country in various ministry roles, developing our skills in listening and adding new tools to become more qualified as a Pastoral Supervisor.

So if you are looking for some Pastoral Supervision, or know someone who is, then just get in touch.

And if you happen to be visiting Holy Island on retreat or holiday, then in person would be an added bonus.
