What is Spiritual Direction?

Welcome — I'm Col, and I’m glad you’re here.

You might be wondering… is Spiritual Direction for you?

​

If you’re longing for a deeper connection with God, you’re not alone. 

​

You might be:

  • feeling spiritually dry

  • carrying questions you can’t quite name

  • navigating a season of change

  • or simply sensing a quiet pull toward something more

 

Spiritual Direction offers a sacred space to pause, to reflect, and to listen for the voice of the Spirit in your life.

​

Spiritual Direction is for anyone— not just the devout or the certain.

​

It can be especially helpful in times of transition, when you’re discerning a decision, or when your faith feels distant or unclear.

​

What happens in Spiritual Direction?

​

When you meet with me, we’ll sit together, either in person or online, about once a month.

 

We’ll begin with a simple introductory session to see if this feels like a good fit.

From there, each session unfolds gently.

​

There is no rush. No pressure to perform.

​

We make space for:

  • silence

  • reflection

  • honest conversation

  • and deep listening

 

This isn’t about fixing. It isn’t about teaching. It’s about accompanying.

​

My role is to walk alongside you, helping you notice and respond to the movement of the Spirit in your everyday life.

​

A Bit About Me

​

You can call me Col.

​

I trained as a Spiritual Director with Spiritual Growth Ministries. Before that, I spent 30 years in youth ministry and community development.

​

I have been following Jesus for over 35 years, and like most, my journey has included both mountain-top moments and deep valleys.

​

I am a proud member of the Association of Christian Spiritual Directors New Zealand (ACSD) and Spiritual Directors International (SDI).

​

I feel drawn to accompany people, especially at the thresholds of life, where things become honest, tender, and sacred.

​

It is in these spaces that I seek to offer presence, peace, and gentle care for the soul.

​

Curious to know more?

If you’re wondering if spiritual direction might be for you, I offer a free 30-minute Zoom session —no pressure, just a chance to connect. You can reach me via the form at the bottom of the page.
