Psycho-Spiritual accompaniment

If you are looking to move beyond your own individual healing towards being of service within our terminally wounded culture, then psycho-spiritual accompaniment might be suitable for you. It is different from more straightforward therapy in that it seeks to help you align with the realities and predicament of our world, endowing you with the gift and travail of aspiring to be useful in these times. I am here to witness you and what is unfolding within you and around you, in a space of stillness, wonder and deep co-participatory conversation.

“There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding. You don’t ever let go of the thread.” William Stafford

Psycho-spiritual accompaniment might be for you if you are:

Standing at the edge of a threshold or going through life transitions
Wondering about or facing death, yours or someone close to you
Feeling lost or disconnected
Longing or feeling nostalgic for something that you don’t exactly know
Highly sensitive
Contending with the ecological crisis
Being asked to grieve what you love
Wanting to discover your gifts and ways of being of service to the world

This work is suitable for people who have some experience of therapy or personal healing work and who are resilient enough to stand at the door of not-knowing. It might also be ideal for you if you have already completed one or more cycles of Ancestral Lineage Healing and want ways to continue to deepen in the guidance that’s available for you.

About my approach

Deep below there is a sense of knowing that your gifts are wanted and that the world is waiting specifically for you to be alive, with attentiveness, care and an open heart. In your attempts to reclaim your own wholeness is where I will meet you to walk alongside you and listen with all my body for the emergence of unexpected possibilities. These might arise between us, between you and your ancestors, you and your relationships, you and the world around you.

This process can offer a safe, lightly-boundaried and gently held space to question without needing to find solutions, and by living your questions more deeply to find deeper nourishment, guidance and wisdom in your everyday life. The work and the relationship between us is fluid, following the ebbs and flows of what is asked of you in order to be more fully alive.

Where is the door to God? In the sound of a barking dog, in the ring of a hammer, in a drop of rain, in the face of everyone, in all we can behold.

– Hafiz

Session Details

I am committed to meeting you in the way and place that you need to be met. This is metaphorical but also practical. Sessions can take place as often or rarely as it’s appropriate and last anything from fifty minutes to half a day. All this depends on the work that you’d like us to do together. Most people choose to have some fortnightly or monthly online 50-minute sessions, which can often lead to the creation of a longer ritual piece. This can take place online, in an outdoors space or in your space whether that is a private home or a hospital room.

Fees vary according to the length of time spent together, and are generally on the basis of 70£ per hourly session. Low-cost options and gift ways of paying are also possible, and this can be discussed when we first meet.

The best way to find out all the possible ways that I could walk alongside you in this way and how I could meet you, is to schedule a free 20-minute conversation.

In the universe there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between there are doors.

– William Blake
