"Just take this step...The Horizon will look after itself"
Charlie Mackesy
I have lived experience of working in, and alongside faith groups both in the UK and overseas and understand the joy and stability that faith and being part of a faith can bring. I know too, the deep turmoil, inner conflict and dissonance that can occur when faith no longer seems to work and/or when trauma and abuse are experienced in faith settings. Navigating loss and trauma when the belief systems and structures previously relied upon feel at the very least no longer supportive, and at the worst, the very source of pain, can be hugely distressing.
​
My hope is that as I accompany you with kindness and compassion in exploring your story, its beginnings as well as where you are now, you will find a way to something that is both authentic and true and discover a richer way of being that brings energy and joy.

Attachment Theory and Trauma Informed Therapy, can be helpful for exploring issues of faith and spirituality and we will draw on these where appropriate.
