Spiritual Counselling

• I feel like I don’t belong or fit in anywhere.
• I’ve been in church all my life but want a change.
• Is there a life after Church or faith community?
• I feel lost.
• I have a lot of doubts about my religion.
• I don’t know who to talk to, I have a lot of unanswered questions.

• I’m put off by modern Church or faith community and feel like a spectator rather than a participant.
• I feel guilty for wanting to leave Church or faith community.
• I feel that I’m being disloyal, critical or selfish because I am struggling with feelings of frustration and discouragement about Church or faith community.

Consultations are available today. Book your 30-minute intro call to find out if spiritual counselling is for you.

"I'm glad he was there when I needed someone. The space he provides is one of pretty much accepting everything and working through it with you. Terry is helping me to express more and by doing so discover more, bit by bit. I would recommend Terry to anyone."

Perhaps you are feeling unsettled in your church.

Maybe it has become more of a habit than a conscious choice, or it has been something you ‘have always done’.

Are you finding things ‘narrow-minded’ and wish to explore a more liberal approach to your faith?

You may possibly feel that your life style doesn’t ‘fit’ in your faith community.

For whatever reasons, you no longer feel at home with your current spirituality and want to change. Together we can try and see what this new home might look like.

Your feelings may be quite intense or confused just now. 

That is ok! That’s why you are here. 

Very few of us have been taught how to understand our feelings. Too often they feel like distant relatives and not intimate friends.

You have your faith (or chose your faith) because you wanted to be part of something, to believe in something bigger than yourself. Or it has been something you have grown up in, and at one point left you feeling fulfilled.

Now you may be feeling a range of emotions. Or, more accurately, a storm of emotions leaving you feeling lost, confused and angry.

Together we will help you find a way through these storms and eventually find a safe harbour.

As a spiritual counsellor I can offer a space for you to think about your faith. I have a background in both theology and counselling, which is a powerful combination when thinking about our spirituality. I spent 30 years in the NHS as a psychiatric nurse, trying to help people find a better quality of life for themselves. Now I focus my time on helping minds and souls to heal. As a counsellor, university lecturer and mental health nurse I believe that many of the things that shape us are hidden from our conscious minds.

Like an iceberg, much of our life is below the surface but nonetheless has a huge influence on us. Counselling for the soul gives you a space to talk with me about things in your life that don’t make sense, or that make you sad, angry, confused, frustrated, or afraid. 

Our inner world is like an iceberg. 9/10 hidden below the surface. But still very influential! Talking with me will help you to recognise these icebergs and avoid them until it feels possible to break them up into something less dangerous.

Terry was exactly what I needed in a therapist. Terry helped me unpick the old, outmoded coping mechanisms I had used to survive since a child and now I understand myself in a way I never thought possible. 

The sessions were challenging but Terry’s professionalism and understanding allowed me to be exposed in safety and to be contained. 

Terry helped me grown in a way no other therapist has and I am forever grateful to have found him when I was ready to. 

I spent over a year working on myself with Terry’s guidance and I would return to him in a heartbeat if I needed to. If you are ready to be brave, I cannot recommend Terry highly enough.
