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.
