Exploring spiritual accompaniment: a brief explanation of the first steps |
Thank you for your interest in contacting me to ask about exploring working together in spiritual accompaniment.
Please fill in the Spiritual Accompaniment Enquiry Form, below. It will be helpful if you can use the comment box to say briefly why you are looking for a spiritual accompanist. When you click submit you should receive an on-screen message saying that your form has been sent.
Once I've received your enquiry form I'll email to find a convenient time to speak a little on the phone. Following this conversation, if you'd like to pursue working together further, we can arrange a date to meet for an initial, exploratory session. These usually last around an hour.

An initial, face to face meeting is an opportunity for the following:
- for you to tell me a little about yourself and something of your spirituality or faith journey to this point
- for you to talk about what you want from spiritual accompaniment
- for you to think about how often you'd like to see a spiritual accompanist
- for me to explain what I am able to offer in spiritual accompaniment and tell you a little about myself and my own spirituality
- for you to consider if what you are looking for and what I can offer seem to be a good match
If you then decide that you'd like to meet regularly, we'll arrange a first session date, and agree to review how spiritual accompaniment is going for you after a couple more meetings.
Of course, after an initial meeting, sometimes people feel that I'm not going to be the right person for them to work with. If this happens, then I am very happy to assist you in finding someone else via the network of nearly 100 spiritual directors in West Yorkshire to which I belong.
