I’m Kath, I’m a Spiritual Director based in Northern Ireland. I love providing a safe space for people to notice the reality of God in their everyday, walking around lives. I care deeply about people knowing they are not alone in their journeys and I love accompanying anyone exploring the landscape of their life with God.
I moved over to Northern Ireland with my husband and two boys in 2021. A move born of the pandemic, longing to be closer to family we launched into the dark and came back to my husbands home land. Previous to that we were based in Brighton and enjoyed the vibrant city life. We now live deep in the countryside and have found our souls and bodies breathing out with the change.
When I get some spare time I love walking, big chats about the meaning of life, swimming in the sea, drinking red wine, sitting around a fire pit with friends, soaking in sunsets, reading books, writing, watching crashing waves on the beach, listening to music, drinking endless cups of tea and being outside with my camper van as much as possible.
I’m a person of deep faith, in the Maker of this wonderful world. I believe that there is a God who is deeply involved in our lives, who loves us and has infused this world with their presence and love. I believe that we are best placed to be ourselves and flourish in life from that safe place of divine love.
Over the years I’ve undertaken a variety of formal and informal ministry roles. I’ve been involved with various forms of the Christian faith. Through all the traditions and tribes I’ve been part of I’ve held onto a desire for people to find safety in the presence of God, to enjoy being loved by their Maker and to flourish and be free in that love.
I offer a non judgmental expansive space to explore your life with God, welcoming anyone from any background, sexuality or gender who wants to find a safe place on their faith journey.
I trained with the London Centre for Spiritual Direction on their Encounter course and am a member of their community of directors. I abide by their code of conduct. I undergo regular safeguarding training through the centre and the Thirtyone:Eight organisation. I also take part in regular supervision and am committed to my own development as a director through retreats and further training.
