Hello!
Welcome to my website, here is a little about myself.
​
Having left school without any qualifications, my passion back then was to work with horses and after finishing a four-year apprenticeship as a Blacksmith / Farrier, I travelled Europe for seven months in a VW van with two other friends. This was a significant, life changing journey.
​
When I returned, I decided that I wanted to do something more worthwhile with my life and got involved with part time youth work which then led to a number of full-time roles in various forms of youth work. I attended church, married, had four children, and now have three grandchildren.
​
I have since returned to working with horses and no longer attend formal church but still have a faith in something that is bigger than our own understanding. My passion is to walk with others in cultivating wholeness using various tools, including the Enneagram, Twelve Steps, creative prayer, and other contemplative practices based around stillness, solitude and silence.
​
I’m qualified in the Narrative Enneagram, which is closest to its roots and also as a Prayer Guide using mainly Ignatius spiritual exercises as well as finding the paths to prayer for your personality type. In both cases, my role is to work with you to help you to discover your own path.
​
I consider myself to be approachable, open, and inclusive. I also enjoy facilitating growth through being part of a community either online and in person through walks, meals and other activities. Find out more about this in the Depth section.
​
On a personal level I enjoy hiking, travelling, being outside, making things from wood, photography, watching rugby and spending time with family and friends.
